The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Dormaa East, Mr Paul Twum Barimah, says the decision by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to suspend all prospecting licences granted mining companies will help protect the environment.
Beyond the suspension, the MP, who sits on two committees in Parliament, said the ministry should also cause the arrest and prosecution of those who flouted rules governing the prospecting for minerals and those who degraded forests and the environment without the appropriate licence or legal backing.
In an interview with some journalists in Accra last Friday, the communication and energy specialist said the decision was even the most lenient of the options available to the minister.
