The Paramount Chief of Essikado Traditional Area, Nana Kobina Nketsia V, has pledged his unflinching support to the fight against illegal mining (galamsey) in the Western Region and other parts of the country.
He said the impunity with which the illegal miners were degrading the environment had got out of hand and that the time had come for all to lend their support, irrespective of one’s political colours and social status.
“This is not a fight for a particular person or the ministry and government. It is a national fight and for that I pledge my unflinching support,” the Omanhene stressed.
