Illegal miners who fail to stop their activities would be made to face the full rigours of the law

Lands Minister is joking over fight against galamsey – UFP Flagbearer
The leader of the United Front Party (UFP), Nana
Agyenim Boateng, has described the Lands and
Natural Resources Minister’s three-week
ultimatum to illegal miners to halt their
activities as government steps up the fight
against illegal mining popularly called
‘galamsey’ as “a joke”.

Nana Agyenim Boateng said “it is a joke and lack
of good leadership on the part of the government.

They must meet the people and solve it
amicably”. The Lands and Natural Resources
Minister, John Peter Amewu last week issued a
three-week ultimatum to illegal miners to halt
their activities, saying, all illegal miners who
fail to stop their activities would be made to
face the full rigours of the law.

Nana Agyenim Boateng, also known as Gyataba
speaking on Onua FM’s Ghana Dadwnene on the way
to fight galamsey said “if they go by force,
they will fail. The approach should not be
violence”.

He suggested that “they [government] should use
the military but if they use the Rambo style
approach it will fails”.
