Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, has urged Lands and Natural Resources Minister Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah to adopt a new approach in combating illegal mining.
Mr Nelson emphasized the need for a fresh strategy, highlighting the devastating impact of illegal mining on the region's water bodies.
He suggested forming a group consisting of representation from the Minerals Commission, District Chief Executives, and security services, with clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
According to him, this would ensure that individuals in these roles are held accountable for their actions and are required to answer tough questions when issues arise.
