The fight against illegal mining (galamsey) is not a matter of convenience; it is essential for our survival. We cannot destroy our environment while claiming to build our future. I commend journalists like Erastus Asare Donkor who expose environmental crimes at great personal risk. For this administration, we are not just fighting galamsey. We are also creating alternatives, including recruiting more volunteers for the Tree for Life Reforestation Programme and Blue Water Guards to protect our rivers. To communities that attack public officials performing lawful duties, we will take firm action. To our youth, we are creating alternative opportunities, including the National Apprenticeship Programme, to provide you with sustainable jobs. Let's choose sustainable livelihoods over environmental destruction. I assure you, as your President, that I will NEVER give up this fight against illegal mining. #ResettingGhana(John Dramani Mahama)
