Galamsey: We Can’t Stop People From Mining, but… – Joe Ghartey, NPP Presidential Aspirant

Joe Ghartey, an NPP presidential aspirant has advocated for responsible mining. In a recent statement on the UTV morning show, Joe Ghartey, a distinguished Ghanaian lawyer, academic, and politician, highlighted a pragmatic approach to the issue of “Galamsey” – the unauthorized and often environmentally destructive small-scale mining operations.

Ghartey, a former Attorney-General of Ghana and Railways and Development Minister, emphasized that while completely halting individuals from engaging in mining might be challenging, there is a significant opportunity to prevent them from causing environmental degradation.

His stance reflects a balanced perspective that acknowledges the economic needs of communities while advocating for responsible mining practices.

As a prospective Presidential Candidate from the NPP (New Patriotic Party), is Ghartey’s emphasis on curbing environmental harm way to his commitment to the sustainable development of the nation?
