The Responsible Small-scale Miners Association of Ghana (RSSMAG) says it would protest in Accra on Friday, against Organised Labour's intended strike and calls for the ban on mining in the country.

According to the RSSMAG, the Organised Labour's advocacy for a ban on mining to help curb illegal mining (galamsey) was not the solution to the problem.

The National President of the Association, Philip Bawah, disclosed this at a meeting on Tuesday, with the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr George Mireku Duker, at Manso Amenfi, in the Amenfi Cen­tral District of the Western Region.

The meeting was part of a nationwide campaign following calls for a ban on mining in the country.
