Mr Amoako-Attah told the Ghana News Agency in
an interview at Akyem-Awenare in the Atiwa District that even though he
was not against mining since it was a source of employment for the
youth.
"Am against the wanton destruction of forests, pollution of water
bodies like the Birim River and land degradation through illegal gold
mining this is totally unacceptable," he stated.
Mr Amoako-Attah therefore appealed to those engaged in the industry
to operate through laid down rules and regulations and ensure that all
mined-out areas were covered since leaving them in the open served as
death traps.
