The Ghana Mining Support Service Providers Association, the umbrella organization for medium, small-scale, and artisanal mining support service providers, extends our heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama on your well-deserved election as the President of the Republic of Ghana.

Your ascension to this high office is a testament to the trust and confidence Ghanaians have in your vision and leadership for our beloved nation. As an organization committed to promoting responsible, safe, and environmentally friendly mining support services, we share your government's dedication to sustainable development and the creation of a prosperous and equitable Ghana.

We also take this opportunity to warmly congratulate Mr. Sammy Gyamfi on his appointment as Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) and Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP, on his appointment as Minister for Lands and Natural Resources. Their appointments reflect your administration's commitment to putting competent and visionary leaders in critical positions to drive Ghana's mining sector toward sustainability and growth.

We recognize the immense challenges posed by illegal mining and its detrimental effects on our environment, communities, and economy. As a key stakeholder in Ghana's mining ecosystem, the Ghana Mining Support Service Providers Association pledges its full support and collaboration with your government in tackling this pressing issue. We are committed to working with you to promote ethical mining practices, enhance enforcement mechanisms, and support community sensitization efforts to eradicate illegal mining.

Furthermore, as mining equipment owners and service providers, we express our willingness to partner with your government in the establishment of National Plant Pools to support the small-scale mining sector. These pools will not only facilitate access to modern and efficient mining equipment for small-scale miners but will also ensure adherence to environmentally friendly and responsible mining practices.

This initiative aligns with your vision of a sustainable mining industry that contributes to national development while preserving our natural resources for future generations.

Your Excellency, we stand ready to work closely with your administration, as well as with Mr. Sammy Gyamfi and Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, to achieve these shared goals. Together, we can create a thriving and sustainable mining sector that benefits all Ghanaians.

Once again, congratulations on your inauguration as President of the Republic of Ghana. We wish you wisdom, strength, and unwavering resolve as you lead our nation to greater heights.

Ayekooo, Your Excellency President John Mahama.
