Additionally, those complicit in undermining President John Mahama’s anti-galamsey mission risk dismissal or legal penalties.
”Any Forestry Commission staff who is found to connive with illegal miners and or give tip-offs to the miners on raids will be dealt with according to law.
Some have also spent too much time in their present jurisdictions and will have to be transferred.
Further, those who are found to be culpable, complicite or have compromised in anyway which is an affront to President John Dramani Mahama’s mission will either be shown the door, dealt with accordingly or both.
We MUST prioritize Ghana for once. “ he wrote in a Facebook post, attached with a video showing an illegal mining site.
