Special Courts to be established to deal with ‘galamsey’

The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources through the  Judicial Service will establish  mining courts at Tarkwa, Dunkwa on Offin, Obuasi and Prestea to deal swiftly with cases related to mining. 

Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Benito Owusu Bio announced this in Kumasi when he addressed a corps of volunteers against galamsey. 

He appealed to the judiciary to strictly apply the laws on individuals who flout the country's mining regulations. 

He said the Ministry is in  talks with the Chief Justice to make punishment of galamsey more punitive. 

The Deputy Minister also described the ban on illegal mining as successful as its  core agenda has been achieved.
