The head of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) believes change is needed. He says scrapping the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) is essential. This move could help combat illegal mining, known as galamsey.

He argues that the PMMC's current structure hinders progress. The organization has not effectively managed mineral resources. As a result, illegal mining activities have flourished.

The GIFEC boss emphasizes the need for new strategies. He believes these strategies should focus on transparency and accountability. This approach will help restore trust in the mining sector.

He also calls for collaboration among stakeholders. Government agencies, local communities, and miners must work together. Only then can they effectively tackle the galamsey issue.

In conclusion, he urges immediate action to address these challenges. Scrapping the PMMC could be a significant step forward in this fight.
