The Managing Director of the State Transport Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea says government is not satisfied with the results of the fight against illegal mining also known as galamsey.

This, according to him, is due to the significant efforts and commitments made which have yielded little results.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Thursday, Mr Akomea highlighted the persistent challenges in combating illegal mining.

”Every President has made efforts to stop illegal mining in the country, but despite their commitment and efforts, the results remain unsatisfactory,” he noted.

Mr. Akomea used the platform to praise the investigative work of Joy FM and its Ashanti Regional Correspondent, Erastus Asare Donkor.

“Based on the good work by Joy FM and Erastus, it is so clear that the fight is far from being won, and we have to look at new ways of fighting it. The commitment is there, the effort has been made, but the results are not satisfactory,” he stressed.

Since assuming office, President Akufo-Addo has launched Operation Vanguard and Operation Halt and many policies to combat the menace.

However, most Ghanaians have expressed dissatisfaction with the perceived lack of progress.

Many also believe that the involvement of government appointees and other prominent personalities in society will continue to undermine the fight against the menace.
