Media personality, Serwaa Amihere
Popular media personality Serwaa Amihere has raised concerns about the perceived silence of President John Dramani Mahama on the pertinent issue of illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
In a post on her X (formerly Twitter) handle on March 6, 2025, Amihere pointed out that the president has given speeches at three major events – the presidential inauguration, the State of the Nation Address (SONA), and the Independence Day celebration- however, not much has been said about the illegal mining menace.
“President Mahama has made 3 important speeches at very important occasions (Inauguration Day, SONA and Independence Day) and he has said little about illegal mining or galamsey which poses a threat to our existence as a people,” she posted.
Amihere’s comments come amid reignited calls about the galamsey menace, which has destroyed various waterbodies across the country.
Many organisations have appealed to the government to quickly tackle the issue due to the long-term effects of galamsey.
