They just go and dig; they don't find it.
Then they go to the next place, and they start digging; they don't find, they go to the next place," he explained.He stressed the need for creating a more organised and regulated system for small-scale mining."I want us to set up community mining schemes with certainty from the Geological Survey Department that here you have gold in that place, we can make sure where they are mining has gold.
If you don't regulate them, they will hide and do it.
We need to enforce the laws, direct, so that we can monitor what they are doing.Once they go here and know that you get gold, all of them come with their Ghana Cards.
Then there is no need to go elsewhere and destroy the environment," he noted.
