Environmental advocacy group A Rocha Ghana has commended the government for its decisive action in transferring all regional, divisional, and district police commanders serving in mining communities.
The reshuffle targets officers who have served extended periods in these areas without making significant progress in addressing illegal mining.
The move is seen as a timely step toward strengthening the fight against the menace.
Speaking on Newsfeed on Channel One TV, Deputy National Director of Operations at A Rocha Ghana, Daryl Bosu, said the decision will promote accountability among police commanders and other key stakeholders. "We are very happy to hear the government is taking these issues very seriously.
