“Government has not banned activities of miners but rather categorized areas close to water bodies and forest reserves as red zones where no individual or company should mine. So what government is saying is that small scale miners should move away from the red zones. So anyone who does contrary to the directive by government will be dealt with by the laws of the country”, Mr. Amarh said.
Mr Amarh kaa sɛ, “Aban mfaa taaboɔ ntoo maenen na mmom wɔkyerɛ beaeɛ ahodoɔ a ɛbɛn nsuo ne kwaeɛ no mu baabi a ɛnni kwan sɛ obiara kɔyɛ maenen dwumadie biara wɔ hɔ. Nti obiara a ɔbɛbu aban nhyehyɛeɛ yi so no, mmara ne no bɛdi.”
