Mr.

Martin Ayisi, the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the Minerals Commission, has shed light on the best way of dealing with the galamsey menace when he appeared before the Assurances Committee of Parliament.

His insights highlight the complexities surrounding the regulation of mining activities and the necessary steps to address the ongoing crisis.

During his appearance, Ayisi emphasized a crucial point: when licenses for mining operations are withheld, individuals and groups often resort to illegal activities. "When you don't give them the licenses, what they would do is that they will go and do it illegally," he stated, underscoring the need for a more structured approach to licensing.
