In my meeting with Civil Society Organisations on 3rd October, 2025 , I reaffirmed my administration’s commitment to ending illegal mining.
I made it clear that I am determined to win the fight, but I cannot do it alone. We need every Ghanaian, the CSOs, activists, and traditional leaders to join us in this battle.
Your quest to hold us accountable is welcome.
Put pressure on me, on my Ministers, and on every official responsible for protecting our environment.
Your advocacy, criticism, and vigilance are welcome if we are to succeed in this fight.
Our forefathers inherited a beautiful country blessed with lush forests and pristine rivers.
We have a sacred duty to preserve this heritage for our children and grandchildren. We cannot – and will not – hand them poisoned water bodies and destroyed forests.
