The Founder and Executive Director of education think tank, Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, has called on the government to take immediate action against illegal mining.
He called on the government to ban mining in unauthorised areas, especially in forests and water bodies.
The issue of illegal mining has become one of great concern in recent times as people continue to mine in forests and water bodies, causing grave damages to the livelihoods of those who live in those communities.
Kofi Asare said the government must amend LI 2462 to regulate mining in forests.
