Conclusively, evidences have suggested that efforts to stem out river pollution being largely championed by the EPASL should be a continuous and sustained process which the head of the Agency in the person of Dr. Bondi Gevao (Executive Chairman), has vowed and pledged to support at all times as long as he is the head of the environmental protection agency. In his determination to end these mining practices that have adverse effects on the people, the planet and national prosperity, Dr. Gevao had recently said that ‘if the illegal miners don’t stop, the EPASL is not going to stop’. However, as Sierra Leoneans, we must at all times embrace all efforts especially these efforts from the Environmental Protection Agency that are geared towards curbing the rampant pollution and the destruction of our precious rivers and their rich resources across the country.
