The Director of Legal Affairs for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gary Nimako has advised the government to station military men permanently at mining sites in order for the fight to be fruitful.
Gary Nimako gave this advice during a panel discussion on JoyNew's Newsfile on how the fight against galamsey in Ghana can be effective. "I think we should permanently station the military at the mining sites.
If we keep shifting cultivation, they will continue coming back and the fight won't be effective," he advised.
The private legal practitioner questioned why citizens decided to mine in waterbodies and forest reserves while also blaming politicians for granting interviews shifting blame against each party when the important issue at hand is to solve the issue at hand.
