We Can t Lose Galamsey Fight – Lands Minister | General News

  Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor has underscored the resolve of President Akufo-Addo and the Ministry to end illegal mining, otherwise called galamsey, and its attendant destructive effects. Currently on a three-day tour of the Western Region to engage stakeholders in the fight against illegal mining, the minister said the havoc being wreaked by the illegal activity cannot be allowed to continue. Abu Jinapor said the country would not watch unconcerned as the illegal activities pollute the country’s water bodies, threaten rubber, palm, and cocoa plantations, as well as key national installations. “What we need now is a broad based national effort that would have our noble chiefs and community elders in a non-partisan dialogue to ensure that the country’s resources are exploited in a safe and regulated manner to the advantage of the people,” he said.

He said the impunity with which the illegal miners were degrading the environment had got out of hand and that the time had come for all to lend their support, irrespective of one’s political colours and social status. “This is not a fight for a particular person or the ministry and government. It is a national fight and for that I pledge my unflinching support,” the Omanhene stressed.
