Government Anti-Galamsey Efforts Allegedly Challenged by NDC Figures

A government advisory team conducting an anti-galamsey operation in the Central Region was met with unexpected resistance from an NDC constituency chairman in Dunkwa.

The chairman confronted the officials, arguing that they should have sought his approval before proceeding with their assessments and equipment seizures.

This incident underscores the growing tension between political figures and state agencies working to combat illegal mining, which has devastated farmlands and water bodies.

An aerial survey conducted by the team revealed alarming landscape destruction, with widespread environmental degradation worsening flooding and agricultural losses.

Reports also suggest that some political figures may be involved in illegal mining activities, further complicating enforcement efforts.

Residents have expressed frustration over the government’s inability to fully eradicate galamsey, citing political interference as a major obstacle.

Authorities are now considering stricter measures, including targeted investigations into political links to illegal mining operations.
