A Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency and Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has warned against impulsive calls to declare a state of emergency in response to illegal mining, insisting that the government's ongoing measures are both visible and effective.
Speaking on JoyNews' AM Show, Mr Gbande emphasised that declaring a state of emergency is not a decision to be taken lightly or without solid justification.
He urged the public to support the government's efforts rather than rushing to make drastic demands. "We shouldn't be so quick to call for a state of emergency.
This is not something you simply impose.
