The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Mr Martin Kwaku Ayisi has said that small-scale miners would have to be given designated places for their activities.
Until that is done, he said, the illegal small-scale mining practice (Galamsey) will not be solved.
Answering questions before the Assurance Committee of Parliament on Monday, October 7, he said "The small-scale mining is open to Ghanaians only so any foreigner who is involved in small scale is illegal.
if you look at Act 900 and 995 it is even so strange that they even go ahead to say that anybody who goes ahead to solicit for a foreigner to engage in small-scale mining amounts to illegal mining.
