NDC must present its plan on galamsey fight - Kwame Duodu

John Kwame Duodu, NPP Constituency First Vice Chairman for Atwima Nwabiagya South, has emphasized the urgent need for a clear plan to combat galamsey.

As the 2024 elections approach, Duodu stresses that every presidential candidate must present actionable strategies to address this critical national concern.

Duodu commends NPP presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for outlining a comprehensive plan to combat galamsey, restore the environment, enforce laws, introduce technological solutions, provide alternative livelihoods, and collaborate with traditional authorities and local communities.

However, Duodu notes that this fight requires a collective effort, urging the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama, to present their plan to tackle galamsey.

"The NDC owes it to Ghanaians to provide a clear, pragmatic solution to this crisis. Ghanaians deserve to know how each candidate plans to protect the environment for future generations. Mere criticism without offering alternatives is insufficient.

"The fight against illegal mining should be a non-partisan issue, with all presidential candidates outlining their vision and concrete measures.

"The NPP has taken the lead with Dr. Bawumia's plan; now it's the NDC's turn to follow suit. Ghanaians are watching and will vote for the candidate with the best plan for the environment and the country," he said.
