Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings emphasizes inter-agency coordination in galamsey fight

During her vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Thursday, August 27, 2026, she highlighted that efforts would be more effective if institutions worked together rather than in isolation. Dr Agyeman-Rawlings noted that since illegal mining occurs within local governance areas, the involvement of decentralized institutions and agencies at the local level is essential. She also mentioned that regular reporting and monitoring of interventions could improve transparency and help assess the impact of measures.

If approved, she plans to engage relevant ministers, including those responsible for lands and local government, to ensure alignment and avoid a "silo effect" in the fight against galamsey.
