President has warned his appointees to refrain from engaging in any form of mining activity.
Speaking at the launch of the Tree for Life Reforestation Initiative in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality on Friday, March 21, 2025, he emphasised that any appointee who violates the directive will face severe consequences. "I have directed that no government appointee at any level should engage in any form of legal or illegal mining.
If you want to be a miner, leave government and go and be a miner.
You can't be in government and be a miner at the same time.
