I’ll collaborate with mining communities to protect our environment – Bawumia

NPP Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has pledged to protect Ghana’s rivers from illegal mining (galamsey) if elected.

He proposed reforms to involve Chiefs and local communities in monitoring, and plans to establish a Minerals Development Bank to finance sustainable mining.

During a campaign tour in the Western Region, he emphasized that a Bawumia-led government would collaborate with mining communities to safeguard the environment and promote responsible mining practices.
