The President delivered this message during the swearing-in ceremony of 14 ministers earlier on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
In his speech, President Mahama reaffirmed the government’s dedication to addressing the issue of illegal mining, commonly known as “galamsey,” and revealed plans to convene stakeholder consultations to tackle the problem.
“No member of this government is allowed to participate in any form of small-scale mining or galamsey. Anyone found engaging in such activities will face swift and severe consequences. We plan to hold stakeholder consultations on the galamsey menace to build a broad consensus on the steps needed to protect our environment from further destruction,” he stated.

Additionally, President Mahama announced the government’s intention to revoke all mining leases granted for operations in forest reserves under the previous administration.
This decision is part of broader efforts to safeguard the country’s natural resources and curb environmental damage caused by illegal and unsustainable mining practices.
The President emphasized that immediate measures would be taken to halt mining activities in these ecologically sensitive areas, and legal action would be pursued against those responsible.
