The small town of Kwapea has been overwhelmed by people processing gold illegally in their homes and has, as a result, attracted all manner of people into the town and into people’s homes.
Aside from physically polluting the environment, Nana Yiakwan said noise from the machines the miners used was so deafening that if they were not stopped, it could also lead to future health complications.
He further appealed to the government to use part of the royalties miners paid to rehabilitate the main Obuasi trunk road which was in bad shape.
