Galamsey fight is complex but I say Aluta continua – Mahama

President John Mahama has acknowledged that the fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, is a complex one.

However, the President has vowed not to give up, stating he wasn’t delusional that the fight would be won within four months of his administration.

He was speaking at the Workers’ Day celebration held at the Black Star Square on Thursday, May 1.

“The fight against galamsey is a complex one, and when I was vying for the presidency, I did not kid myself that when I come into office, I will win that fight in four months, yet we will not give up,” he said.

He lauded the efforts of the Ghana Armed Forces and other security agencies, noting that they are making steady progress in the fight against illegal mining.

“As far as the fight against galamsey is concerned, I say Aluta Continua,” he stated.
