The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) remains firm in its commitment to end illegal mining. Acting CEO Prof. Nana Ama Klutse made clear that no one is above the law. She spoke on Channel One TV, stressing that everyone will face consequences if found guilty of environmental violations.

Prof. Klutse said the agency will focus on its mandate to safeguard the environment. She added that the EPA actively monitors environmental activities and responds to complaints from communities and companies. Moreover, she assured the public that any report of illegal mining would be thoroughly investigated.

Even though the agency has not yet received any complaints about politicians engaging in illegal mining, Prof. Klutse warned that if a politician is caught, the law will be applied equally. “If any politician is involved in illegal mining and we get hold of the person, we will still apply the law as we would to any other Ghanaian,” she stated.
