Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and current Vice President, has emphasised that rivers and other water bodies should not be harmed by the activities of illegal small-scale miners, commonly known as galamsey.
He pledged that under his leadership, there would be a concerted effort to collaborate with mining communities to safeguard the environment while promoting sustainable mining practices.
In his campaign, Bawumia outlined several proposed reforms aimed at improving the mining sector.
He called for a transformation of the licensing and monitoring systems to ensure that traditional leaders and local communities are actively involved in the mining process.
This, he believes, will foster greater accountability and community investment in mining operations.
