In a bold move to address the long-standing issue of illegal mining, the government has announced plans to establish a commission to investigate and resolve the matter once and for all. This commitment was made by the President during a recent speech, where he acknowledged the environmental and economic harm caused by illegal mining.
The commission, to be chaired by a renowned expert in the field, will have a broad mandate to:
- Investigate cases of illegal mining
- Identify perpetrators and hold them accountable
- Develop strategies to prevent future occurrences
- Recommend policies to regulate the mining industry
The President emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring responsible mining practices that benefit the nation and its citizens. The establishment of the commission is seen as a significant step towards addressing the environmental degradation, water pollution, and economic losses resulting from illegal mining.
Stakeholders, including environmental groups and mining communities, have welcomed the government's move, expressing hope that it will lead to a more sustainable and regulated mining sector. The commission is expected to begin its work soon, and its findings and recommendations will be made public. This development marks a promising step towards addressing the perennial issue of illegal mining in Ghana.
