The Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners (GNASSM) has urged the government to take immediate and decisive action against illegal mining in the country.

At a press conference held in Kumasi, members reiterated their commitment to fight galamsey in the country.

The General Secretary of GNASSM, Godwin Armah, said the press conference was part of the Association's initiative, dubbed 'Operation Save Our Waters: A Quest for Equity'.

The Press conference highlighted GNASSM's deep concern over the destruction of Ghana's water bodies and forests caused by illegal mining.
