President Nana Akufo-Addo has urged the National House of Chiefs to take partisanship out of the fight against illegal mining.
Speaking at a meeting with the National House of Chiefs and MMDCEs, the President posited that the fight against galamsey is a national battle and must precede all other interests.
To him, that is the only way the fight against galamsey can be won.
“There are many I intend to make of you during the close door session of our meeting, but one of the most significant which I have to state now is to seek your assistance to take partisan political interest out of the fight against galamsey.
“It can only succeed if it’s a truly national battle which no one seeks to exploit for political gains as we saw in the last election,” he said.
“The progress of our country depends on all of us, all citizens of Ghana, all fellow Ghanaians pulling together to defeat this existential to our future,” he added.
“I have said it before. We are not against mining, but we cannot accept mining in a manner that risk destroying our country.”
