The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has seized approximately 1,000 pieces of equipment, including machinery used for illicit mining, as part of intensified efforts to combat galamsey. Colonel K. S. Appiah, Director of Operations at NAIMOS, revealed this during the Secretariat's Progress Series, where he detailed actions being taken to safeguard Ghana's water bodies and forest reserves.
Appiah emphasized the Secretariat's efforts to protect water resources from the harmful impacts of illegal mining. Additionally, plans are underway to bolster protection of forest reserves, starting with the Atiwa Forest in the Eastern Region before expanding to other vulnerable areas. NAIMOS remains committed to transparency, promising ongoing accountability and responsibility in its anti-galamsey operations.
These actions are part of a larger strategy by NAIMOS to suppress illegal mining, preserve critical environmental resources, and protect Ghana's forests and water bodies for future generations.
