In a recent statement, Dennis Miracles emphasized that the true masterminds behind illegal mining, known as "galamsey," occupy high-ranking positions within the government. He warned that this situation poses a significant threat to national security and the environment. Miracles underscored that while many focus on local miners, the real danger lies with influential individuals who orchestrate these operations from powerful positions.
He called for urgent action to address this alarming trend, arguing that tackling only grassroots involvement in illegal mining will not suffice. The implications of unchecked galamsey activities are dire, including environmental degradation and loss of resources vital for future generations. Miracles urged citizens and authorities alike to recognize and confront the systemic corruption enabling these practices at the highest levels of governance. His message is clear: without addressing the root causes perpetuated by those in power, efforts to combat illegal mining will remain ineffective, leaving the state vulnerable to further exploitation and crisis.
