If gov’t is serious about ending galamsey menace, the insufficient GH¢150 million allocation in 2026 budget should be increased – Peter Toobu

If the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is given a one-year mandate with clear rules of engagement, they will deliver. Galamsey is destroying the country. The GH¢150 million allocated in the 2026 budget is insufficient and should be increased during a mid-year review if the government is serious about ending the menace, Peter Lanchene Toobu, the Vice Chair of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has said.
