No illegal mining operation will find refuge on Akyem Essase lands — Chief declares

“For my own part, I publicly renew the pledge I made at my installation: no illegal mining operation will find comfort on the lands of Akyem Essase while I hold this stool,” he said.

The chief further argued that the country already had sufficient legislation to regulate mining, forestry and water resources, but lacked the courage to enforce those laws impartially.
