The activity is in spite of the ban placed on the illegal mining by the President as a way of restoring polluted water bodies.
The fight against Galamsey which many claimed was over according to Minister for Lands and Natural Resources designate, Samuel Abu Jinapor is still on course.
But Captain Smart insists that fight is not as effective as it was then as according to him, several of the NPP big wigs are still involved in the act.
