The Ghana Coalition Against Galamsey has called for the dismissal and prosecution of District Chief Executives (DCEs) and Regional Ministers whose jurisdictions have seen a surge in illegal gold mining, warning that inaction amounts to complicity.
Speaking on The Forum on Asaase Radio Saturday (8 November) Kyei Kwadwo Yamoah, a member of the group said illegal mining, locally known as galamsey, has evolved into a national security threat, with armed gangs and politically connected financiers driving operations.
