Feature Article of Sunday, 29 April 2018Columnist: K. BaduDid Ex-President Mahama really criticise Akufo-Addo for prudently curbing illegal mining? Ex-President Mahama grouched somewhat plangently: “…it is true that if we don’t do something about it, it will destroy the environment. So Ex-President Mahama wants to tell the good people of Ghana that eight years in government was not enough to halt a canker such as illegal mining? As you stop illegal small-scale mining, at the same time you must put in place a livelihood package so that as you are displacing people from illegal mining, they have something to do…. Indeed, all the attention is basically being focused on the large-scale mining sector, leaving the small-scale mining sector at a substantial disadvantage.
