The Alan Movement for Change has taken a decisive stand against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey during its recent caravan tour through the Volta Region.
Speaking to enthusiastic supporters gathered at various stops along the tour, Adorye emphasized the urgent need for stricter measures to combat the environmental and social devastation caused by illegal mining activities in the country.
Galamsey has been a significant issue in Ghana, leading to the widespread destruction of water bodies and arable land.
Adorye articulated the negative consequences of these practices, which have not only harmed the environment but also adversely affected communities that rely on clean water and agricultural productivity. He stated, "The actions of illegal miners have left our rivers and lakes polluted, jeopardizing our future and that of generations to come."
Revolutionizing Mining Regulations
Adorye outlined the Alan Movement for Change’s proposed reforms, promising to revoke all mining licenses linked to illegal operations. He made it clear that under the leadership of Alan Kyerematen, anyone found engaging in or facilitating illegal mining would face severe repercussions. "Perpetrators will spend a minimum of one year in prison," he declared, positioning this policy as a necessary deterrent for those involved in such activities.
He said this proposed approach signals a significant shift in how mining regulations are enforced in Ghana.
Adorye urged the public to consider Kyerematen as the visionary leader capable of implementing these crucial changes, stating, "Alan is the man we need to solve the galamsey menace. His commitment to environmental sustainability and community welfare is unmatched."
Engaging the Community
Throughout the caravan tour, Adorye engaged with local communities, encouraging them to join the fight against illegal mining. He emphasized the role of citizens in safeguarding their environment and called on them to report illegal activities to the authorities. "We must work together as a community to protect our resources. We need your voices to stand against those who would harm our land and water for their gain," he urged.
Adorye also highlighted the importance of creating sustainable mining practices that prioritize the environment and the rights of local communities. He reassured attendees that the Alan Movement for Change would work towards integrating eco-friendly mining techniques that could provide economic benefits without compromising the integrity of the environment.

The response from the public during the caravan tour was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their frustrations over the persistent issue of illegal mining and its consequences. Community members voiced their support for Kyerematen and the movement's promises, seeing them as a beacon of hope in their struggle for cleaner and safer living conditions.
Adorye concluded his remarks by reiterating the movement's vision for a cleaner Ghana, free from the clutches of illegal mining. He appealed to voters to see Alan Kyerematen not just as a candidate but as a solution to the pressing challenges facing the nation. "This is our moment to make a change. Together, we can reclaim our environment and secure a prosperous future for all Ghanaians," he proclaimed.
