Joyce Bawa Mogtari, Special Aide to former President John Dramani Mahama, has expressed her disapproval of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) position on managing mining activities in Ghana. Mogtari argued that the government’s approach to mining has been ineffective and lacks accountability.
She pointed out that despite the government’s claims to be tackling illegal mining, they have failed to take responsibility for their actions and have instead resorted to blaming others. Mogtari questioned the government’s decision to spend $58 million on the National Cathedral project while neglecting pressing issues in the mining sector.
Mogtari emphasized that former President Mahama has consistently demonstrated his commitment to finding a lasting solution to the issue of illegal mining. She noted that Mahama amended the Minerals and Mining Act to protect and preserve the environment and has spoken out against illegal mining on various platforms.
Mogtari also highlighted the need for a collaborative approach to addressing illegal mining, involving stakeholders in affected communities. She expressed concern that the government’s current approach has not worked in tandem with local leaders and has instead led to the destruction of equipment and livelihoods of small-scale miners.
