President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has indicated that since he took over as president, not a single license has been issued to any company to mine in forest reserves.
According to him, the repeal of LI 2462 is therefore intended just to crystallize in law what his government has been demonstrating in practice.
The president made this known while addressing the media on September 10, 2025.
To him, his government is committed to protecting Ghana’s forest reserves and will not allow them to be destroyed.
“Let me be clear: since my administration resumed office, not a single license has been issued to any company to mine in forest reserves. The repeal of LI. 2462 is therefore intended just to crystalize in law what we have already demonstrated in practice, which is to protect these forest reserves,” he said.
