Give Us Support And we will Restore The Environmental Issues In Four Months.... Excavators operators Association Ghana. ( EXOPASS) To Gov't

Excavators operators association Ghana (EXOPAS GH) has call on government to give them full support to help deal with illegal mining.

The group which its members scatter across the mining areas in the country seems to have genuine concerns. They seem play a major role in the illegal mining activities and it is obvious they cannot be left out when talking about solutions to curb galamsay. The leader of the association Mr. Solomon Barnes said on an interview

They have been operating the excavators and they know what goes in when they go to the field to work. They also agree a special training and license has to be issued to them since most of their members do not hold license. Individuals who don’t go by their rules license will be revoked and kick them out work. He further explained government can generate a lot fund when they are benign licensed and also have a date of individuals who hold license that are working at the mining sites and this will help cramp down illegal mining.

They believe most of the environment problems in the mining sites are created by the operators and giving them support will help restore our depleted environment. He further stated they are currently working closely with Chamber of small scale mining industry in Ghana (COSMIG) who are conducting research in the various mining regions.

Ghana continues to suffer from the activities of persons engaged in illegal mining, a situation that is destroying farmlands and water resources.

Artisanal and small-scale mining – a low-tech, indigenous mining subsector – is taking on increasing economic importance in many developing countries. In Ghana, it supports millions and contributes up to 43% of the nation’s total gold production.

The sector employs over 1 million rural Ghanaians directly, while the upstream and downstream industries employ 4.5 million people, accounting for 60% of the country’s mining workforce. But artisanal and small-scale mining is also responsible for complex environmental challenges: destruction of land and vegetation.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity.
