Democracy Hub leader Oliver Barker Vormawor says people in mining areas have lost hope in the fight against illegal mining. He shared these thoughts during a TV show on April 26. Communities feel powerless against galamsey operators who destroy their land. Residents face isolation if they speak up about the problem. This growing sense of defeat makes solving the crisis harder.

Vormawor works with civil groups to train local activists. He points to government inaction as a major issue. Many traditional chiefs support the illegal operations instead of stopping them. These factors combine to silence community resistance. Ghana faces danger if leaders fail to address illegal mining soon.

The government recently changed its approach to mining regulations. Officials planned to modify law LI 2462, but will now repeal it completely. Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi announced this change on April 23. The Attorney General will start the repeal process when lawmakers return from break. This shift comes after pressure from various stakeholders.
