Government Repurposes 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.
We give them to farmers to do irrigation farming, to feed Ghanaians.
Instead of destroying seized excavators and water-pumping machines, the government is redistributing them to farmers to promote irrigation farming and reduce water body destruction.
- Seized equipment is being given to farmers to support food production.
- The approach aims to restore damaged water bodies affected by illegal mining activities.
