I WILL DEPLOY TECHNOLOGY TO MONITOR SMALL SCALE MINING ACTIVITIES – MAHAMA

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani has promised to regulate activities of small-scale mining in a way that will not destroy the environment.
He stated that the NDC administration will restructure it so that the youth gain some meaningful employment.
He said when he met small-scale miners on Tuesday, June 11.
“When I was in power, we used the military to force the miners out of the sites, just as this current government is doing. But we realized that there was nothing left for them to feed on after they left the mining sites.
“I am promising you that, should the NDC be voted back into power, we will regulate the activity in a way that will not destroy the environment. If this government fails to regulate small scale mining, we will restructure it so that the youth gain some meaningful employment,” he said.
Mahama further mentioned that, he would introduce what he terms as the reclamation bond to compel small-scale miners to comply with environmentally friendly measures as a means of employment.
