Ghana's fight against illegal mining intensifies as Agya Kwabena urges government action. Agya Kwabena, a prominent figure in Ghana, recently visited the government to advocate for stronger measures against illegal mining, known locally as "galamsey." His visit, broadcast live on UTV Ghana, highlighted the devastating environmental and economic consequences of this practice. Kwabena emphasized the pervasive nature of the problem, stating (translated from Twi), "This galamsey menace is everywhere; it's destroying our land and resources." The government's response to Kwabena's appeal remains to be seen, but the urgency of the situation is undeniable. This issue is crucial for Ghana's future, demanding immediate and effective solutions.
