Rev. Professor Joseph Obiri Mante lamented that differentiating between small-scale mining and galamsey has become a herculean task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow we cannot tell whether those who are doing legal mining have turned out to be illegal, we don\u2019t know which one is galamsey and so on and so forth, we are just wondering if it will be possible to place a ban on all small scale mining. Just to make a statement, we know we get money (from galamsey) but at what cost,\u201d he said during the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nefarious activities by illegal miners in the country have become a topical issue, with a section of Ghanaians calling on the President to regulate their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=\/XEUMGiwqej4\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=\/XEUMGiwqej4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
