Mr Mahama, who had flown to the area in a helicopter, said he was
shocked to see the massive destruction caused by galamsey activities in
the area. Apart from the land, he said, rivers had been polluted by the
illegal operators through their activities.
He, consequently, called for concerted efforts to fight the menace,
since illegal mining could destroy the future of the country if not
arrested.
In that regard, he appealed to chiefs to play a lead role in the fight
against the canker, saying the government alone could not win the battle
against galamsey if the chiefs, who are custodians of the land, were
not fully involved.
