The Minerals Commission has denied media reports that the Tano River has been polluted by illegal mining activities.
In a press release issued on Sunday, September 18, 2022, the commission clarified that a report from its District Officer in Bibiani who went on a fact-finding mission on the River Tano indicates that the river is clean and not polluted as previously reported.
"The Minerals Commission's attention has been drawn to a video that was shown on UTV on Thursday, September 15, 2022, indicating that six months ago, the Tano River along the stretch on the bridge was clean, but as of the time of the video's reportage, the river is polluted."
"The Commission wishes to inform the public that on September 17, 2022, the District Officer of the Commission's Bibiani Office visited the area and duly confirmed that the river along the bridge is clean," it said.
The Minerals Commission also urged the media to engage it in discussions about illegal mining and other issues.
The commission believes that effective collaboration between it and the media is one of the most effective ways of putting a stop to illegal mining in the country.
"The Commission wishes to appeal to the media for continued support in dealing with the threat of illegal mining in the country."
The Commission also stated that some government interventions and measures are already yielding positive results.
"The Commission wishes to remind the media and the general public that the government has taken steps to combat illegal mining." These measures include the purchase of speed boats for the Ghana Navy's permanent patrol of the waterbodies, the training of river guards to supplement the Ghana Navy's efforts, the tracking of earth moving machines, and the decommissioning of excavators and other structures mounted in the waterbodies."
