Following a military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the Ghana Association of Small-Scale Miners, Adu Gyamfi, has criticised proposals to ban small-scale mining.
He described the calls as "needless" and illogical, arguing that the crash had no connection to the activities of small-scale miners.
In an interview with Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Gyamfi stated that the incident does not warrant a complete ban on mining.
He asserted that miners did not attack the helicopter and that the crash did not occur at a mining site.
