President Akufo-Addo again mentioned that even if he will contest for the 2020 elections, he is not perturbed by the threat put out there by some galamseyers to vote him out in office for doing the right thing for the country.

He added that he is happy he has the support of many Ghanaians and the media in the fight against galamsey; emphasising that the fight galamsey is one his priority to end the menace which has affected the country’s river bodies.

“We are not against mining and Chinese operating in the country but we are against the degradation of our land by whoever,” he insisted.
