Ghana’s Agriculture Minister, Dr Owusu Akoto Afriyie says only two percent of the country’s cocoa farms are affected by illegal mining activities.
He indicated that there is a lot of goodwill among stakeholders including traditional authorities in the fight against the environmental menace.
Recall, the President of Ghana, Nana Akuffo Addo had also met Local chiefs, Municipal and District executives in the course of the week to discuss how collaboratively the government and stakeholders can battle against illegal mining in Ghana.
