The head of the Ghana Minerals Commission in the person of Martin Kwaku Ayisi has said the the issuance of mining licences cannot be stopped even though they are calls to ban “galamsey” immediately.
Speaking to a panel of members selected by the Parliament of Ghana to aid in bringing an end to “galamsey” Mr. Martin Ayisi made it clear that if he doesn’t issue mining licences to the mining companies, Ghana will end up having a lot of mining companies without a licence.
He further explained to Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa and other members present that it will be better for the mining companies to be licensed because those that are not licensed end up destroying our water bodies than those that are licensed.
Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa also shown samples of our water bodies to the Minerals Commission. The samples shown proved that illegal mining has muddied our water bodies beyond imagination. This Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa entreated Mr. Martin Ayisi to intensify their fight against illegal mining as they and all the people of Ghana also do their part.
