In June, this year, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Sarpong,
appalled and incensed by the large scale destruction of farming lands,
deep pits filled with heavily polluted water and the blockage of River
Offin by galamsey operators, called for a halt to small-scale mining in
the region.
He gave a two-week moratorium for all licensed small-scale mining
groups to submit their documents to the Ashanti Regional Security
Council for scrutiny.
