Mr Amoako-Attah told the Ghana News Agency at Akyem-Awenare in the
Atiwa District that he was not against mining since it was a source of
employment for the youth.“I am against the wanton destruction of
forests, pollution of water bodies such as 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 open made them
death traps.
