Small Scale Miners Association at Dunkwa On-Offin says President Akufo Addo’s U-turn in the dissolution of the Inter-ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) to enable a national stakeholder dialogue should suspend the introduction of community mining.
Vice Chairman of the Small Scale Miners Association Benjamin Annan, said, the President observes the IMCIM is irrelevant to the cause of the NPP after achieving its sole aim of capturing the livelihoods of small scale miners in the country.
He stated that the IMCIM was never intended to fight galamsey but to target legal and licensed small scale miners in the country.
