The small-scale mining law was never meant to give carte blanche to criminal syndicates to poison our soils and pollute our streams and rivers - in an enterprise that amounts to the brutal gang-rape of Mother Nature with impunity.
The small-scale mining law was meant to give employment to individuals and groups of people using traditional methods to mine gold.
It was never meant to provide legal protection from prosecution, for wealthy criminals driven by unfathomable greed, who do not care one jot about the effect of their actions on the natural environment, and on their fellow humans - and give them a license to destroy the Ghanaian countryside in their quest for gold.
