Honestly, it’s about time Ghana put communities and the environment first instead of just letting big companies (and illegal operators) rake in the profits. Sharing mining revenue directly with locals is a huge step toward real economic justice. Cracking down on illegal mining is important, but I hope the government also invests in supporting small-scale miners to do things sustainably, not just punishing them. If these reforms are actually enforced and transparent, this could be a model for other countries facing similar issues.
