Mind you, the Ghanaian has a hidden expectation as far as mining is concerned. Ghanaians are exposed to the wealth of this sector and it is becoming more complex that we must confront together as a people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With many organisations and individuals calling for a ban on galamsey, the military was deployed as part of Organised Labour\u2019s demands to parts of the Eastern region on Thursday, October 10, where 30 mining equipment were destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>The task force moved to the Central Region on Friday, October 11, where it destroyed 10 Changfans, a pistol, and eight water-pumping machines on the Pra River.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A member of the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) communications team, Enoch Afoakwa, has eulogised the efforts of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo towards the fight against illegal mining.
