President Akufo-Addo has said he will commit all resources at his disposal into the fight against galamsey.
According to him, although the country is blessed with the mineral resources and needs to be exploited, it should not be done to the detriment of our water bodies and environment.
The President who disclosed this at an encounter with the Press today said he had heard some Youth engaged in galamsey have threatened to vote him out in 2020 because of his fight against galamsey but mentioned that their call will not prevent him from the fight against galamsey.
He said it is uncertain if his name will be on the ballot paper in 2020 and there was therefore the need to commit himself to fight against the menace that has destroyed several water bodies in the country.
He said “I’ve been told there are young men who have said they voted for me and if I continue down this way they can be sure that they will not vote for me again in 2020. Well, the 2020 vote it’s not clear if Akufo-Addo’s name will be on the ballot in the first place and even if his name is on the ballot, this is not going to be the reason why I’ll stop, I’m going to continue”.
