“As a Minister in the Eastern Region, I once did order the regional security to arrest some galamsey operators and successfully seized their machines but all the court could do was to fine the perpetrators only GH¢200.00, and in a short while the culprits went back with full vigor to do their own thing and destroy the environment with impunity,” he said.
