The Ghana China Friendship Union (GCFU) welcomes the decision by Government to clump down on illegal mining and its resultant negative impacts on our environment. Whilst we pursue this course, government and for that matter the Ministerial Taskforce set by President Mahama to deal with the issue must take into cognizance attempts to tag all Chinese legal firms providing supportive services in the country as illegal.
Unfortunately media reportage has usually not been in the favor of our Chinese brothers irrespective of which industry they find themselves in. On the contrary there are various foreign national engaged in the mining industry in Ghana. Our checks have shown that non Chinese firms engaged in the mining industry are also having much more adverse effects on our environment than even the Chinese. There have been several forms of pollution associated with non Chinese firms which Government has kept mute about.
