At a landmark press conference at the Ghana International Press Centre, , presidential candidate for the Afrafranto Alliance, together with his running mate, Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD) and other senior partners of Afrafranto Alliance, unveiled a comprehensive 10-point plan aimed at eradicating illegal mining (Galamsey) in Ghana.
This ambitious blueprint, which he presented on Sunday, 29th September 2024, signals a new approach to tackling one of the country's most pressing environmental and socio-economic challenges.
Kyerematen began his address by acknowledging the devastation Galamsey has caused across Ghana, describing it as an "existential threat" to the nation.
He painted a grim picture of the widespread destruction of water bodies, forest reserves, and farmlands, calling it the result of decades of poor governance and policy failure by both the NPP and NDC governments. "The two dominant political parties have demonstrated that they neither have the competence, desire, nor political will to address Galamsey," Kyerematen stated.
