The Western Regional Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress, Richard Kirk Mensah, has taken a stance against illegal mining.

He's prepared to expose government appointees in the Western Region who are allegedly involved in illegal mining activities on water bodies and forest reserves.

Mensah plans to submit his findings to the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee, hoping to bring attention to the issue and prompt action from the authorities.

The devastating impact of illegal mining on Ghana's environment and natural resources makes Mensah's actions particularly significant.
