The Ashanti Regional Police Command has deployed 140 security personnel\u00a0to flush out illegal miners in the region.<\/p>\n

The exercise is being done in conjunction with the military.<\/p>\n

The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ken Yeboah, revealed this during a visit of the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, to the Regional Police Command.<\/p>\n

The Regional Minister has been touring security installations in the region.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”gktMz02e3DCrm8R3a4Mgh8waRljIZx2s”]This is his first official visit after his appointment as the Ashanti Regional Minister.<\/p>\n

DCOP Ken Yeboah said this effort of the police and military will help “government reduce galamsey to the barest minimum.”<\/p>\n

He said the 140 Police and Military men “are providing security to eject some Galamsey operators within Obuasi and Susanso.”<\/p>\n

This forms part of the fight against illegal mining launched by Government and media organizations, to restore vegetation and water bodies destroyed by these activities.<\/p>\n

Many communities in Ghana are currently suffering the negative effects of galamsey. In the Ashanti region, Galamsey is most prevalent in the Amasie West, Amansie Central and Amansie east districts.<\/p>\n

Although Ghana\u2019s laws are clear on illegal mining, the activity has been allowed to continue for more than two decades.<\/p>\n
