The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has asked the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations (NAIMOS) Task Force to deal ruthlessly with illegal miners.
The move forms part of efforts by the government to intensify its fight against galamsey.
According to the minister, the government remains committed to ending illegal mining.
He indicated that illegal mining is a national security threat that demands urgent and decisive action.
Speaking at the deployment of the NAIMOS Task Force in Sunyani on Sunday, September 28, 2025, Mr Buah stated that “The fight against illegal mining is not going to stop, and every measure at the Presidency is going to be used. I charge you with a profound sense of duty and patriotism. Any recalcitrant who enters these zones is not only a trespasser but also an enemy of the state. You are to be firm, resolute, and ruthless.
You will take no obtrusive intrusion from any big man. Remember, the biggest man in Ghana is the President, and he is the one who has sent you,” he added.
