The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has served notice that he will initiate moves to remove Members of Parliament (MPs) found engaging in illegal mining activities from their seats.
He made the remarks on Thursday, January 31, 2025.
He has therefore admonished the public to provide substantial evidence of any lawmaker involved in illegal mining, which will be used to take action against them.
“If you have evidence of any member indulging in galamsey, draw my attention. I will put in motion a process where you will lose your membership as a member of parliament. Please bring the information to my notice.
“We will take action. That is how we can fight Galamsey. I mean what I am saying; I am not joking, unless you hide such information from me. If I get any credible information on any of you on this matter, I am going to initiate the process, and you can lose your seat as a member of parliament.
“The law is there to enable us to do that,” he said.
