The Information Ministry has reiterated the government’s commitment to addressing the pressing issue of illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
In a recent statement, the Ministry emphasised that the government is determined to work closely with all relevant stakeholders to find sustainable solutions to the environmental and socio-economic challenges posed by galamsey activities.
This follows President Akufo-Addo’s meeting with Organised Labour on Thursday, October 3 following a threat by worker unions to embark on a strike on October 10 if action is not taken to stop illegal mining.
The impact of illegal mining on water bodies, farmlands, and forest reserves has become a national concern, and the government has intensified efforts to combat this menace.
