This move marks the first phase of a broader strategy to inject fresh energy into the country’s fight against illegal mining activities.
The reshuffle affects several Divisional and District Commanders, particularly in the Eastern South, Western, and Western North Police regions. According to the Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, the reshuffle aims to introduce a new wave of leadership and enthusiasm to tackle the complex and persistent challenges of illegal mining. “It is to bring in fresh energy in fighting illegal mining,” she emphasized.
The changes are expected to empower commanders to better respond to the growing environmental and security concerns caused by galamsey. The reshuffle includes a number of high-profile transfers, with top commanders being reassigned to key districts and divisional commands that are hotspots for illegal mining.
Sources indicate that more reshuffles are expected in the coming weeks, as the Police Administration seeks to bolster its efforts in tackling this urgent national issue.
