NPP Reacts To Mahama’s AI Proposal To Combat Galamsey

Spread the love

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described John Dramani Mahama’s pledge to deploy Artificial Intelligence to help fight illegal mining activities if he is elected president in the upcoming December 7 general elections as mere political rhetoric.

The Director of Communications for the political party, Richard Ahiagbah, on his X handle, said it is impossible to win the fight against galamsey with Mr. Mahama as president and accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of being promoters of illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.

“The NDC are promoters of galamsey. Therefore, H.E Mahama’s promise to use AI-powered plan to combat galamsey is a vote-seeking gimmick. Galamsy is an existential problem that requires inputs from all strata of society to combat. Resolving the galamsey menace is impossible with H.E John Mahama and the NDC because they are promoters and beneficiaries of galamsey.”

Mahama, in an address at the 3rd Annual Transformational Dialogue on Small-scale Mining at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Sunyani, said his government will use “AI to locate all small-scale mining and galamsey operations, track excavators, and geofence all concessions” to help coordinate and monitor activities within the small-scale mining sector to reduce environmental destruction.

 

Ahiagbah further referred to some cases, including what he said was a “widely publicised 2020 video of Kwaku Boahen, then Deputy Communications Officer of the NDC, promising a golden age of galamsey to voters in mining communities across the country,” and also Mahama’s promise “to free galamsey convicts in 2020, at a campaign event at Mpohor,” to buttress his point that the fight against galamsey under a Mahama administration will be fruitless.

 

Read the full statement posted on the X platform by Richard Ahiagbah.

The NDC are promoters of glamsey. Therefore, H.E Mahama’s promise to use AI powered plan to combat galamsey is a vote-seeking gimmick. Galamsy is an existential problem that requires inputs from all strata of society to combat. Resolving the galamsey manace is impossible with H.E John Mahama and the NDC because they are promoters and beneficiaries of galamsey. Pls refer to the evidence below:

1. The widely publicized 2020 video of Kwaku Boahen, then, Deputy Communications Officer of the NDC, promising a golden age of galamsey to voters in mining communities across the country

2. H.E Mahama promised to free galamsey convicts in 2020, at a campaign event at Mpohor, and has repeated the same promise following his selection as the flagbearer of the NDC for the 2024 presidential election.

Solution to the fight against galamsey is impossible with Mahama & the NDC. Vote Bawumia for a bold solution to the galamsey menace. It’s possible.
