The Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Prof Ransford Edward Gyampo, has commended the current government's efforts in addressing the issue of illegal mining popularly known as galamsey.
According to him, the government's initiatives are praiseworthy, and the current minister in charge is more receptive and willing to listen to concerns.
Gyampo noted that, unlike the previous administration, this current one has demonstrated a greater willingness to work towards effective solutions. "At least nationally, there is a consensus between those who opposed the fight and those who support it, and we are all working together," he added.
Speaking on TV3's Keypoints show, he acknowledged the progress made and urged the government to do more, particularly by declaring a state of emergency to better combat galamsey. "We must demand that more is done.
