President John Dramani Mahama has revealed that Cabinet has approved the Public Tribunals Bill, a move aimed at accelerating the prosecution of illegal mining (galamsey) cases across the country.
The introduction of the Public Tribunals Bill, as explained by the president, is expected to strengthen the country’s resolve to clamp down on galamsey activities and reinforce the government’s commitment to safeguarding the environment.
Speaking during a meeting with the Christian Council at Jubilee House on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, the President said the new Bill will empower public tribunals to handle galamsey-related offences, easing the pressure such cases place on the traditional court system and ensuring quicker, more efficient justice delivery.
