  BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!
  Ghanaian Youth Voice Discontent Over Government’s Failure to End Galamsey
  
  Accra, Ghana — October 9, 2025
  
  The Youth Association of Ghana has expressed growing concern over the government’s continued inability to end illegal small-scale mining, popularly known as GALAMSEY.
  
  In a statement released this week, the group criticized both the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration and the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for failing to deliver on promises to eliminate the practice, which continues to cause severe environmental degradation across the country.
  
  The association recalled that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo once vowed to end galamsey even if it meant putting his presidency on the line. However, according to the group, the situation worsened under his leadership, a factor they believe contributed to the NPP’s electoral defeat 2024.
  
  Turning to the current NDC administration, the youth pointed out that President John Dramani Mahama also pledged to address illegal mining with the same determination that ended the dumsor energy crisis in 2015. Yet, after nearly nine months in office, the group says illegal mining remains at its peak.
  
  > “If President Mahama fails to resolve the galamsey menace as he did with dumsor, the youth of Ghana will be deeply disappointed in both the NPP and the NDC,” the statement read. “At that point, young people will be compelled to look for an alternative political force that genuinely prioritizes environmental protection and the future of our nation.”
  
  
  
  Environmental experts have consistently warned about the long-term effects of galamsey, including pollution of major rivers, destruction of arable lands, and loss of biodiversity. Despite numerous anti-galamsey task forces and policy interventions over the years, the practice remains widespread.
  
  The Youth Association’s statement adds to the growing public pressure on the Mahama administration to take decisive and transparent action against illegal mining operators, regardless of their political affiliations

  The mp, Gakpetor Dzudzorli should be reminded that Dzelukope-Tagba also AWAITS its share. The promise is long overdue. Some of us were compelled to undertake Hercules task ourselves.

  Well the hope of community finally fulfilled, I remember JJ Rawlings promised that the whole country will be connected to the national grid by the year 2030. So I think the community should be thankful. I know there are some communities in Ghana which are still living in darkness.
