Legal and policy analyst, Kofi Bentil has cautioned President John Mahama against underestimating the fight against illegal small-scale mining (galamsey).
He stressed the need for more concrete action beyond mere rhetoric.
Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, Mr Bentil reiterated that past efforts to curb galamsey have fallen short because the issue is far more complex than a mere law enforcement problem. "Gold is a spirit, and from time immemorial, it makes men mad.
If you know the stories of the Wild West, people killed and died for gold.
