Defence Minister Dr.
Edward Omane Boamah has announced a decisive move by the government to pursue the owners of excavators used in illegal mining activities, as part of President John Dramani Mahama's renewed efforts to combat the galamsey menace.
Speaking on the latest developments in the anti-galamsey fight, Dr.
Boamah disclosed that authorities have successfully obtained the chassis numbers of several seized excavators-marking a significant step toward identifying the individuals behind the environmental destruction caused by illegal mining operations. "As promised last month, we are glad to report that some chassis numbers of seized excavators used to perpetrate galamsey-an environmental sin against humanity and God-have been secured," the Defence Minister stated.
