GoldBod law defended, challenged, and scrutinised over unlicensed mining stance
Ghana's GoldBod legislation is facing concurrent scrutiny on multiple fronts: MP Adongo has defended the law's passage while leaving the door open to review, and legal academic Prof Appiagyei-Atua has issued a formal challenge to a mining directive, warning that officials who permit unlicensed mining could face criminal abetment liability. The GoldBod CEO's public comment on small-scale mining is being tested against the text of the law, with Prof Appiagyei-Atua asserting that allowing unlicensed operations constitutes a breach.
