- Osofo Kyiri Abosom vows to protect Ghana's natural resources.
- No foreigner will engage in galamsey under his presidency.
- Timber export restricted through overpricing.
- Citizens' interests prioritized over resource exploitation.
Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews, popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has made a bold pledge to protect Ghana’s natural resources if elected president. As the founder and leader of Life Assembly Worship and the leader of Ghana Union Movement, Rev. Andrews is determined to tackle the devastating impact of galamsey on Ghana’s water bodies. He expressed shock and dismay at the degraded state of these once-pristine water sources.
Rev. Andrews emphasized that it’s unacceptable for non-Ghanaians to engage in illicit mining activities in the country. He vowed to prevent foreign nationals from participating in galamsey, stating, “Any foreigner who is listening to me, put it down that if I come to power, I’m never allowing any foreigner to mine this country.” This stance is part of his commitment to prioritizing citizens’ interests.
The outspoken leader criticized previous administrations for mismanaging Ghana’s resources. He urged citizens not to support leaders who destroy the youth and the country’s future. Rev. Andrews believes it’s time for a change, emphasizing that Ghana’s resources should benefit Ghanaians, not foreign exploiters.
To achieve this, Rev. Andrews proposed restricting timber exportation by overpricing it. This strategy aims to prevent over-exploitation of Ghana’s natural resources. He assured that under his government, timber and related products would be available locally without hindrance.
Rev. Andrews’ commitment to environmental protection and resource management aligns with his Ghana Union Movement’s (GUM) vision. As the GUM candidate for president in 2020, he sought to break the duopoly of the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party.
His manifesto focuses on safeguarding Ghana’s natural resources, ensuring sustainable development, and promoting citizens’ welfare. Rev. Andrews’ pledge has sparked hope among Ghanaians seeking change.
The presidential hopeful’s stance on galamsey and resource management has garnered attention. His promise to provide GH¢10,000 seed capital to every young Ghanaian has also resonated with the youth.
Rev. Andrews’ leadership style blends spirituality and politics. As the founder and general overseer of Life Assembly Worship Centre, he brings a unique perspective to governance.
Ghanaians will be watching closely as Rev. Andrews’ campaign unfolds. His commitment to protecting natural resources and prioritizing citizens’ interests has ignited a sense of optimism.
As the 2024 elections approach, Rev. Andrews’ message of change and sustainable development is likely to resonate with Ghanaians seeking a better future.
