The national Women organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kate Gyamfuah, has appealed to people engaged in illegal mining to desist from their devilish acts.

She argues that their actions fueled by greed is destroying the efforts of individuals who are engaged in proper mining activities.

Kate Gyamfuah, who says she has been mining for the past 32 years, indicated that she is shocked that water that used to be clean is now being destroyed just to satisfy the whimsical interests of some people. "Proper mining is possible.

I've been mining for 32 years, and when we started, these water bodies that have been destroyed were our source of drinking water.
