I\u2019ll put a lot of effort into the galamsey fight for Ghanaians to know that I\u2019m serious about the fight so that we can bequeath to the next generation the gold, water, and other resources we inherited from our forefathers. I intend to do everything within my power in this second term to bring this galamsey menace to a conclusion in Ghana,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Fuseini has challenged the president to walk the talk by ending the menace in order to help secure Ghana\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is more to it than words. It is the action that is required, but I agree with the president and challenge him to put in more effort because he has said all the right things. Ghana\u2019s ecosystem has taken us a long time to get it where it is and we cannot just watch on and allow a few miscreants to destroy it for their personal gain. Our ancestors knew [about] the gold that we have but they never prospected for gold in water bodies, and they never also destroy the forest cover for gold. They rather handed to us \u2013 this generation \u2013 an ecosystem that we were proud of and that we could even beat our chest and say that we are the largest producers of cocoa. This is what they handed over to us, what are we handing over to the next generation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow these greedy people to destroy it for us. We cannot and we must not. The president must act and act now. Mr. President, if you can\u2019t create any legacy at all, the lasting legacy will be to mitigate the harmful effects of illegal small-scale mining in this country by banning such activities. If you so do, not only this generation but generations yet unborn will applaud you for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Inusah Fuseini made the call on\u00a0Citi FM\/TV\u2018s weekend current affairs programme,\u00a0The Big Issue\u00a0on Saturday, April 24, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: citinewsroom.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>&nbsp;and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Inusah Fuseini, says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo could create a lasting legacy by ending illegal small-scale mining, commonly known as galamsey in Ghana.
