The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has questioned why chiefs should give out their lands for galamsey.
According to Osei Tutu II who was speaking in a regional consultative dialogue on small-scale mining at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)m in the Ashanti region, he said about 30 percent of the people present during the conference knows those involved in the galamsey activities in the country
“Let’s be honest with ourselves else we will do these conferences to no avail. Any chief who has given land for galamsey must feel guilty. What kind of chief are you if you have given your land for galamsey? They said I shouldn’t speak if I do, I will say a lot of things so I’ll stop here”.
“On my part, I have already warned my Chiefs and elders against participation in such illegalities, and I will not hesitate to strongly sanction any such infraction. Already I have had reports on some things happening at Amanse, the Fomena area, and I will be investigating that to see what is happening,” he said.
