Stakeholders in this sector have now joined. When you go to these mining sites you will find miners who are members of NPP, NDC, CPP, PPP. The campaign started when there was a change of government so obviously, people will misconstrue that it is a political fiat against us but it is not only affecting just a group of people but all those in the mining chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-321017\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Galamsey-NDC-NPP-meeting-4.jpeg\" alt=\"galamsey-ndc-npp-meeting-4\" width=\"1080\" height=\"809\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-321015\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Galamsey-NDC-NPP-meeting-2.jpeg\" alt=\"galamsey-ndc-npp-meeting-2\" width=\"1080\" height=\"809\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Traders of heavy duty machines are affected, gold buyers and a whole lot of traders in this sector.

I believe it is a worthy cause we have to support.
