Minister for Environment, Science, and Technology, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, has expressed the government’s commitment to win the fight against illegal small scale mining (Galamsey).
He assured that measures have been put in place to stop galamsey.
“There’s no denying the fact that politicians are engaged in galamsey… It’s shocking to note that as of 2022, the state had taken a decision to withdraw security forces who were preventing people from engaging in galamsey in all galamsey areas.
“No [rethoric], we want to do less talking and much work. I can tell you what we’re doing is profound. Some of the things I can’t put out there. I had some engagement today, [Wednesday, February 19] with some organisations and institutions to see how we can stop galamsey and at the same time restore the water bodies,” he told Accra-based Citi FM
He assured that Ghanaians will see changes in the galamsey fight in a few months.
“By the will of God, within some few months, the people of Ghana will see some drastic changes as far as our water bodies and galmsey are concerned.”
