Amansie DCE Apathetic About Galamsey Fight – Save Ghana
The District Chief Executive of Amansie Central District in the Ashanti Region, Hon.Kwame Asamoah Boateng has been accused of showing little or no interest in the fight against illegal mining in his area.
Chief Executive Officer of Save Ghana Foundation, Mr. Kofi Agyei has alleged that despite ban on illegal mining by government, there are some unscrupulous people still engaging in the activity.
“I have information that some people are still engaging in illegal mining in the night at Numereso, a town in his district”, he claimed on Kumasi-based Otec FM afternoon political talk show “Dwabrem” hosted by Agya Wusu Ansah.
“I have seen that the DCE cannot lead the fight against illegal mining so therefore he must be removed for someone who can do the work to takeover”, he observed.
“I am going to petition President Akufo-Addo for his removal”, he revealed Monday during a panel discussion.
The president, Nana Akufo-Addo has put his presidency on the line with a commitment to end the illegal small scale mining popularly called galamsey in Ghana.
Ghana’s future is in a limbo with a huge chunk of its environment under-siege from boisterous young men and women who are digging every inch of space in mineral rich areas of Ghana in search of gold, diamond etc.
The President has therefore urged everyone to help end the illegal mining across the country.
