A lawyer, Kwame Boafo Akuffo Esq. from Akropong-Akuapem, has suggested a new law for Ghana.
He wants Parliament to pass an Act that would allow the use of deadly force.
This force would be used against illegal miners operating in Ghana.
The miners are active in the country's forest reserves and water bodies.
This proposal aims to address the widespread damage caused by illegal mining activities.
The destruction impacts both natural resources and communities.
Further details on the proposed legislation are not yet available.
