Awula Serwah, Coordinator of Eco Conscious Citizens, has challenged Emmanuel Kofi-Armah Buah's claim that an outright revocation of L.I. 2462 would interfere with the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
She made this assertion while contributing to a discussion on the depletion of forest cover due to illicit mining activities on JoyNews Newsfile on March 22, 2025.
Addressing the claim by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources that revoking L.I. 2462 would hinder the EPA's operations, she stated that the assertion was false. "The EPA has the mandate to operate irrespective of L.I. 2462.
Let's be absolutely clear; the President was informed and had all this information when he said he would revoke the L.I.
