Playback: Newsfile discusses Operation Halt and Amidu's claims of NDC MPs 'Double Salary' blackmail

As part of measures to combat illegal mining, some 401 military personnel have been deployed from the Ghana Armed Forces by government to commence the fourth phase of Operation Halt.

Some MPs in the Minority have criticised the burn-on-sight tactics employed by government in its 'galamsey' fight.

Today on Newsfile, host Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panelists analysed the approach targeting machines over known human culprits.

Also, the show focused on a possible reform for the National Security after the recent assault of two journalists. This comes after Lt. Col. Frank Agyemang including three others were returned to their mother agencies for their role in the assault of the journalists.

Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has alleged that the NPP administration leveraged the NDC MPs 'Double Salaries' saga under the erstwhile Mahama administration to demand approval of the President's ministerial nominees.

This was also be discussed on the show.
