Central Regional Minister Ekou Panin Okia Edouamore called on security agencies, particularly the police, to treat illegal mining as a serious crime, to take critical intervention and stop the devastating impact on the country.
He noted that illegal mining, commonly known as Garamsie, is not merely an environmental concern, but a criminal act that undermines national efforts towards sustainable development and environmental governance.
As a result, Edouamore accused police of cracking down on the threat as the call grew for action following a visit to the local Security Council to the endemic community of “Galamsie” in the region.
He called when he addressed Central Regional Police Command officials on Tuesday as part of an official visit to local state agencies, departments and agencies.

“It is becoming increasingly unacceptable for some activities of some politicians in this country to encourage a culture of lawlessness and immunity, and we have to end it,” Edoormore said.
Deputy Chief of Police (DCOP) Kofiadu, commander of the Central Regional Police, lamented the Chief’s conflict, especially before the annual festival celebration.
