According to him, the move is to transform 'galamsey' into small-scale mining, so the youth in mining communities can find work to do.
“I was here in Obuasi to say that Galamsey, which I prefer to call small-scale mining, will be regularized, to ensure that the youth all find work to do. Shortly afterwards, Mahama also came here to tell you that I was lying, and that an Akufo-Addo government will rather sack everyone involved in galamsey.
“When he won the election, he rather directed soldiers to come and drive out all persons involved in galamsey in Obuasi,” Akufo-Addo noted.

Nana Addo appealed to the people of Obuasi to have confidence in him, saying that “I will never give a promise I know I cannot keep. I am going to use every strength, every connection of mine in the world of business to ensure that the (Anglogold Ashanti) mine is reopened and strengthened, so as to bring life back to Obuasi.”
