State failure, not GoldBod, driving galamsey – Daryl Bosu

The Deputy National Director of A Rocha Ghana, Daryl Bosu, has said illegal small-scale mining, popularly known as galamsey, will persist as long as the state fails to address its underlying causes. He argued that the increasing international price of gold and the government 39;s failure to enforce existing laws against illegal mining and its facilitators were more fundamental concerns than the establishment of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod).
