Ghana's War Against Gold Smuggling | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Ghana, Africa's top gold producer, has waged a war against the growing smuggling of the precious metal in the country. To curb illicit trading, President John Dramani Mahama has launched a task force that will include police officials as well as soldiers. It is the first-ever national-level initiative to curb gold smuggling. It marks the President’s bid to recover billions of dollars lost to illegal trading of the precious metal. Launching a stern warning for those involved in illegal exploration, President Mahama said that violators would face a hefty fine of up to 2.4 million Ghanaian Cedi ($230,000) or imprisonment of five to ten years, or both.
