The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources is wrapping up an investigation. This probe looked into allegations about illegal mining activities.

Specifically, reports claimed a District Chief Executive was involved in collecting money from those engaged in galamsey.

The ministry has been carefully looking into these claims. Officials state the investigation is now close to being finished.

The outcome of this probe is expected before the end of the first quarter. This means official findings should be released in the coming weeks.

This investigation is part of ongoing efforts to manage and control illegal mining operations across the country. The ministry aims to ensure accountability.
