Samuel Abu Jinapor, Land and Natural Resource Minister, has refused demands for his resignation amid criticism of the government’s response or lack thereof to illegal mining (galamsey).

According to him, he does not see the reason to step down, emphasizing that while citizens have the right to express their opinions in a democratic society, he strongly disagrees with those calling for his resignation.

The Minister noted that he has heard some groups call for the President’s impeachment, among other demands.

“In a democratic system, people have the right to express their opinions and views, and i respects that” he acknowledged.

However, he emphasized that just because people are entitled to their opinions, doesn’t mean he has to resign, and therefore, he doesn’t see the need to do so.

The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in Agriculture, Aquaculture, and Fisheries, along with some members of the clergy, have demanded the minister’s removal, stating his alleged failure to effectively address the galamsey crisis.

They argue that his inaction has resulted in severe environmental consequences, including widespread deforestation and the destruction of water bodies.

These groups also believe that the minister and his deputies have not taken enough measures to mitigate the harmful effects of illegal mining, leading to their calls for his resignation.

Despite all the criticism, Mr. Jinapor insisted that the government has made substantial progress in combating illegal mining.

He noted that achieving lasting results requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, and assured that the government is fully dedicated to addressing the issue.
