“NAPO Champions Responsible Mining, Rejects Illegal Activities” -Press Aide
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reiterated its commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, clarifying its stance on mining amidst circulating misinformation.
Amma Bempomaa Oppong Mensah, Press Aide to Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the NPP’s Running Mate, emphasized that the party supports responsible mining practices but strongly condemns illegal activities that harm the environment.
In an interview with OTEC News, Oppong Mensah dismissed reports suggesting Dr. Prempeh promised to release seized excavators of illegal miners if the NPP wins the 2024 election, labeling them as “doctored and misleading.”
“The NPP and Dr. Prempeh are committed to sustainable and regulated mining practices that benefit the country and its citizens. We will not tolerate illegal activities that destroy the environment and put lives at risk,” Oppong Mensah stated.
She urged the public to be cautious of false information and to verify facts before sharing or believing them.
The NPP has been highlighting its commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development as part of its campaign ahead of the 2024 election, with a focus on responsible mining practices that prioritize the country’s well-being.
