Sand contractors seek regulatory clarity over enforcement operations at Dawa

The Sand and Stone Contractors Association of Ghana has called on state authorities to clarify the regulatory procedures governing sand-winning and transportation activities at Dawa and neighbouring communities. The Association says uncertainty surrounding enforcement operations, documentation requirements and the issuance of fines is creating difficulties for sand winners and tipper truck operators and requires urgent attention from the relevant institutions. In a petition signed by its Acting National Chairman, Anthony Mensah, the Association said it had approached several state institutions, including the Minerals Commission, the Ghana Military Police, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the Tema Regional Police Command and the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, to seek intervention.
