The Member of Parliament for Tempane Joseph Dindiok Kpemka believes that the fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, is a tougher battle than fighting corruption.
The Police have arrested seven illegal miners who formed part of a larger group of ‘galamsey’ operators who unlawfully entered a mining shaft belonging to AngloGold Ashanti.
“They have decided to stay. They say they will not come out for the fear that when they come out they would be arrested and indeed when they come they will be arrested,” she said.
