A member of the Movement for Change, Nana Yaw Sarpong, has called for punitive action, following the prosecution of foreign nationals arrested for illegal mining in Ghana.
According to him, foreign illegal miners should not be deported without facing the full rigors of the law.
He insisted that authorities ensure that they serve their sentence in the country with hard labour.
Speaking on JoyNews on May 15, 2025, Sarpong expressed deep concern over the continued destruction of the land and water bodies due to illegal mining activities, commonly known as galamsey.
