The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has charged the Western Regional Security Council to deal decisively with persons engaging in illegal small scale mining and related activities in the region.
He said the Council was expected to intensify enforcement to stop illegal exploration of gold as it was the bedrock of most of the country’s natural resources, adding that it should ensure efficient management of the resources.
“The charge for us is to deal with illegal mining irrespective of the party affiliation or colour of the culprit. Whether it is NPP or NDC or any other grouping, the Council has the mandate to deal with such persons. No one is above the law in this country,” he stated.
