Video Description

Ghana’s fight against illegal mining (galamsey) takes center stage as Gold Board CEO and NDC Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, speaks out on the government’s strategy, gold exports, and why a state of emergency is not the solution. In this interview, Gyamfi breaks down: 🔴Why the government is using year-on-year data to track water turbidity and galamsey impact. 🔴New reforms: no mining in forest reserves, GPS-tracking excavators, and strict accountability for seized equipment. 🔴How the Gold Board’s revolving gold trade system supports the Bank of Ghana and stabilizes foreign exchange. 🔴The big debate: gold vs. cocoa – which should Ghana prioritize for long-term growth? 🔴Why past mining bans failed and why political will + innovation matter more than slogans. 🔴His response to critics claiming Ghana’s economy is being “fixed” through galamsey. 👉 Stay tuned for insights on governance, economics, and the future of Ghana’s natural resources. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more political and economic analysis from Ghana.
