The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources in a statement ordered owners of excavators to, within seven working days, register their excavators at their respective Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies as part of measures to combat illegal mining.
However, speaking on news and current affairs programme ‘Behind the News’, the Communication Director of the Association, Abdul Razak Alhassan said the time is inadequate pleading with the Ministry to extend the time for the registration, adding that the process is a cumbersome one and needs time.
