Government Repurposing Seized Galamsey Equipment for Farming
Rashid Tanko, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), announced that the government is repurposing seized galamsey equipment for farming.
“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 goal is to support farmers, promote irrigation farming, and restore damaged water bodies affected by illegal mining activities. Author summary: Government repurposes seized equipment for farming.
