Government Repurposing Seized Galamsey Equipment for Farming
Rashid Tanko, CEO of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), announced that the government is repurposing seized galamsey equipment for farming.
Speaking on the AM Show, Tanko explained that instead of destroying seized excavators and water-pumping machines, the government is redistributing them to farmers to promote irrigation farming and food production.
“You see, most of the excavators being confiscated have not been given back to them,” he said. “A lot of water pump machines have been taken and given to farmers. People bought those machines and sent them to water bodies to destroy them. This time we are not burning them. We give them to farmers to do irrigation farming, to feed Ghanaians.”
The approach aims to restore damaged water bodies affected by illegal mining activities and encourage food production.
