The Governor of the Eastern Region communicates:

"I was given to note that despite the measure of closure of all artisanal gold panning sites and the suspension of all activities related to the exploitation of gold on the said sites throughout the extent of the regional territory, subject of press release No. 2023-002/MATDS/REST/GVRT-FGRM/CAB of January 24, 2023, plans to exploit gold on the sites are still in progress in the Region.

Violation of this measure is a defiance of authority and cannot be tolerated.

Also, the Governor brings to the attention of the population that the suspension measure of all activities related to the exploitation of gold on the said sites, is still in force.

Consequently, it invites gold miners and occupants to vacate the sites within seventy-two (72) hours from Sunday April 23, 2023.

Any offender would be held responsible for any inconvenience and without prejudice to the legal proceedings provided for by the texts in force.

The Governor knows how to count on the spirit of good citizenship, the sense of responsibility of all, for the strict respect of this measure. »
