The Ashanti Regional Minister has given a stern two-week ultimatum to individuals engaged in illegal mining in forests and waterways, warning them to vacate these areas or face the full force of the law.
Dr Frank Amoakohene reaffirmed his commitment to protecting the region's natural resources and fully supporting President John Mahama's vision of promoting responsible mining. "Anyone in the forest reserve mining should vacate those places.
We are giving them up to two weeks.
If you are mining within the forest reserves and you don't want to be on the bad side of the law, you have two weeks to leave the place," he declared.
