The Convener of the Media Coalition Against Galamsey, Ken Ashigbey, has urged the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources to disclose the names of individuals who imported excavators into Ghana.
He believes this is crucial in cutting off the source of funding for illegal mining activities, which continue to devastate the country's forests.
Speaking on TV3's KeyPoints on Saturday, March 22, he stressed the need for accountability and public scrutiny of those fueling the illegal mining menace. "We need to cut the source of funding for the purchase of excavators being used for illegal mining.
The identities of the owners of these excavators should also be made public so we can name and shame them," he stated.
