George Mireku Duker
Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, George Mireku Duker, has pledged that if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is re-elected, the country's heavily polluted water bodies will be restored to their natural state within three months.
This promise comes amid ongoing concerns regarding the environmental damage caused by illegal mining, commonly known as “galamsey.”
Mr Duker emphasised that the government has the capability and plans to rehabilitate the water bodies that have suffered severe degradation.
At a recent meeting with small-scale miners in the Prestea Huni Valley enclave, Duker expressed his concerns about the politicisation of the galamsey issue as the general elections approach.
