Mustapha Gbande has waded into the debate on illegal mining, insisting that the mess left by the previous administration is still haunting the country. "No government can stop mining per se in Ghana; it is not possible.
But what we must do is regulate it.
The devastation we see in river bodies and forest reserves is largely because the past government released these lands to foreigners without reforestation or reclamation.
Angels did not come to clean up that mess-we have come to meet it," Gbande said on GHOne TV monitored by MyNewsGh.
