President John Dramani Mahama has renewed the government's promise to fight illegal mining. This is a problem that harms the environment and Ghana's water.
He made these statements during his recent State of the Nation address. The President emphasized the ongoing effort to stop these destructive mining practices.
Illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, has caused widespread pollution and damage to land and water systems across the country.
The government's commitment means continued efforts to enforce laws against illegal mining and protect natural resources.
