The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has lauded the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, John Peter Amewu, for his brave efforts in fighting against illegal mining, also known as galamsey, in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work that Peter Amewu is doing with Nana Akufo-Addo and the government is the work that you voted for Nana to do.

Dr. Bawumia noted that “The creation of this new economy that we have embarked on cannot be possible without the support of John Peter Amewu and the work he is doing and is going to do in the Ministry of Lands and Natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
