A Deputy Minister of Energy, Hon Andrew Egyapa Mercer has endorsed calls for persons whose action and inaction have led to the increasing rate of illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) in the country, or who are neck deep in the practice should be held accountable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He stated that the laws do not permit people to engage in illegality hence he welcomes the calls for such persons to face the law.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the New Day show on TV3\u00a0 Monday, October 3, while contributing to a discussion on the galamsey menace, he said \u201cI support the call for people to be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further called for the depoliticization of the fight against the illicit small mining trade.<\/p>\n

For his part, Member of Parliament for Tamale Central Ibrahim Murtala asked the government to halt small-scale mining for a while to deal with the illegal ones among them.<\/p>\n

He further stated that President Akufo-Addo should resign because he put his presidency on the line with the fight against galamsey.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a serious country [President Akufo-Addo] should no longer be president of Ghana,\u201d he said on the same show.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo said he was putting his presidency on the line over galamsey. From all indications he has failed in that direction, he should step down, Murtala explained.<\/p>\n

He further intimated that the government must demonstrate enough commitment to depoliticize the fight against the practice.<\/p>\n

In his view, the fight has been politicized.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the\u00a0Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor has said that <\/a>the fight against galamsey cannot be won if politicians and other stakeholders continue to act in ways that encourage the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

Arable lands and water bodies are still being destroyed by the activities of these miners despite investing hugely to end the menace.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the 40th anniversary of the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology<\/a> (KNUST), Mr. Jinapor observed the battle can only be won collectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not make headway if natural resources managers, forest managers, security personnel, and other professionals connive with the very people against whom they are to enforce government policies and laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cannot be right for opposition political party leaders to say if voted in power, they will release all jailed illegal miners and allow them to mine. Likewise, it cannot be right if ruling party leaders put their political or economic fortunes ahead of this fight. This fight must be above partisan politics before it can be won\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister did not mince words in calling out traditional leaders and local authorities as accomplices in the menace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI come from a Palace and I can say without a shred of equivocation that in most cases, no one brings an excavator to mine in a forest or changes to work on a river body in a community without the knowledge or passive approval of the chief, elders, opinion leaders, assemblymen and local authorities in the community. We have to begin to be blunt about this situation on our hands. It is the honest truth\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu the second however disagrees with the blame of chiefs for illegal mining.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concession is given by the authorities in Accra, the chiefs don\u2019t give concessions so there is little they can do about it. The chiefs will be there and people will bring documents saying they\u2019ve been given permission to mine. Who consulted the chief for him to even supervise the activity?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe constitution says the minerals are being held in trust for the people by the President. So chiefs cannot do much about it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources at KNUST has been tasked to come out with sustainable management of the country\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

The Theme for the anniversary is \u201c40 years of training natural resources managers: A new age for a new focus\u201d.<\/p>\n

The alumni plan to construct a 300-seater computer and GIS laboratory for the faculty as part of efforts to enhance the training of natural resource managers.<\/p>\n
