The government of the Republic of Ghana should endeavour to minimize the politicization of the issues surrounding the illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey and address the problems from professional and technical perspectives. Although it is the responsibility of the government to create small-scale mining opportunities for Ghanaians as part of their national heritage, the mining operations should be conducted in safe, environmentally-friendly, sustainable, and conflict-free manner. Well trained and knowledgeable technical experts should be allowed to assist in addressing this critical issue of national concern.
