Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dr. Omane Boamah, the leader of the Defence Ministry, has announced that the current government is committed to tackling illegal mining activities head-on.
He made it clear that the focus is on action and delivering results, rather than just talking about the issue.
In a post on Facebook, Dr. Omane Boamah highlighted differences with the previous administration.
He pointed out that, unlike the New Patriotic Party government, which stepped back from the fight against illegal mining, the current government aims to protect the nation’s water and forests.
“The NPP government’s withdrawal of military force from anti-galamsey operations is a cardinal sin against humanity. The good news is, under the directive of President John Dramani Mahama the soldiers are back to fight galamsey.
We have saved 7 forest reserves so far. We will talk less and let action speak! We’re also using the Chasis numbers of the vehicles being used for galamsey to trace the true owners of such deadly environmentally unfriendly equipment,” he said.
Since the new administration came into power, the approach to handling illegal mining, known as galamsey, has shifted.
Rumors are circulating that since the NDC (National Democratic Congress) assumed control, some people affiliated with the party have been involved in illegal mining and are damaging the country’s forests.
