Question:

One A prominent person in Ghana, has called for the decentralization of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM). He said, the fight against illegal mining also known as ‘galamsey' is not yielding the expected results due to the absence of key stakeholders such as the District Chief Executives and Assembly Members. He stated that making the DCEs and Assembly Members mere implementers of strategies from the IMCIM rather than partakers in formulating the strategies defeats the purpose for which the IMCIM was established.

a. Explain the process through which the fight against galamsey got into the political agenda (indicate sources of information)

b. With reference to the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), explain five waysby which the inclusion of key stakeholders in the district assembly in the IMCIM can help with the fight against Galamsey.
