He commended the five-member Committee inaugurated by the Sector Minister to oversee the provision of security for the mines, and thus, urged them to continue their good work to ensure sustainable mining practices.

Speaking on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Supt. Henry Ayisi Mensah, admonished the officers to exhibit professionalism at all levels and not to condone and connive in illegalities.

On his part, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Mr Sulemana Koney, expressed the Chamber’s appreciation to government for agreeing to provide security for mining companies.

He noted that the mining industry continued to be a major contributor to the national economy.
