The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, in his capacity as the acting Minister for Environment, Science, and Technology, Hon.
Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah (MP), has written to the Office of the Attorney General for the formal and immediate revocation of Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2462 and its amended version, L.I. 2501.
Among other things, the regulation provides a legal framework for granting mining licenses in some forest reserves.
Environmental advocates believe a revocation of the law is crucial to the fight against environmental destruction caused in some forest reserves.
