Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mireku Duker
A Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, George Mireku Duker, has voiced his opposition to the deployment of military forces as the solution to the galamsey menace plaguing Ghana.
Speaking at a recent event, Mr Duker emphasised that while the military can play a role in enforcing the law, a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of illegal mining is essential for a lasting change.
The lawmaker argued that merely increasing military presence in mining areas does not tackle the underlying issues driving individuals to engage in galamsey.
He stressed the importance of fostering alternative livelihoods and implementing sustainable practices in mining operations to prevent illegal activities from taking root.
