Daniel Kwaku Mensah, also known as DKM, has criticized the government's approach to fighting illegal mining (galamsey).
DKM, a prominent figure in the Ashanti Region's mining community and National 2nd Vice President of NALAG, believes that using police and soldiers in the fight against galamsey is a "waste of time".
According to DKM, relying on soldiers and police for anti-galamsey operations is futile due to their deep-rooted ties with illegal miners.
This criticism comes after the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources distributed 10 pickups to NAIMOS (National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations).
DKM serves as the former Amansie West Small Scale Miners Association Chairman and current Assembly Member for Manso Moseaso.
