New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, says addressing unemployment is the most effective way to tackle illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0Adom FM\u2019s\u00a0Dwaso Nsem<\/em>\u00a0morning show<\/strong>, Dr Adutwum argued that relying solely on military interventions will not solve the menace.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t deal with the root cause, we will always prescribe wrong solutions. The root cause is unemployment,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

According to him, most of the youth engaged in galamsey are school dropouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these young people leave school after junior high. We need to get them into senior high schools, TVET, or vocational training to cut the pathway to galamsey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Adutwum further proposed the establishment of counseling centres to guide young people toward alternative careers, alongside the creation of blue collar job opportunities and targeted interventions in mining communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnding galamsey is not just about deploying the military. There has to be a conscious effort to take the youth out of the galamsey pipeline,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
