The first time legislator but a formal Municipal chief
executive (MCE) for the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality in the Western Region is
firmly assuring the people in his constituency especially the youth that the
Nana Addo led administration is going to refined the way they have been doing
mining in the area as small scale miners and give them prepare training as to
how to reclaim the land afterwards.
The assurance comes on the back of propaganda pealed
by the NDC in the constituency that the Nana Addo led administration is going
to collapse small scale mining business in the town which has been the heartbeat
of most household in the Municipality.
“You cannot talk of Tarkwa Nsueam without small scale mining or “galamsey” and I have told the young men that we the NPP have not come to collapse galamsey we will look for a nice way to group them and give them training and license to operate as small scale mining so that they will not destroy our water bodies and the land”.
He mentioned that the 'legalization policy's the small
scale mining sector will be mindful of protecting water bodies, forest reserves
and proper reclamation of the land on which they mine.
He however seized the opportunity to thank, Chiefs and
people of the Tarkwa Nsuaem Constituency for bestowing on him the honor to
serve in the August house in their interest.
