Ghana's Galamsey Fight: A New Era of Political Will?

Galamsey in Ghana: A Shift in Political Will? Ghana continues to grapple with the devastating effects of galamsey, illegal mining that causes significant environmental damage. Recently, a UTV Ghana Breakfast Show interview with Chris Dugan shed light on the issue. Dugan asserted that the current government demonstrates a stronger commitment to tackling galamsey than its predecessor. "Galamsey persists, but there is political will to fight it now," Dugan stated, contrasting this with the NPP administration. He highlighted the government's actions, implying a more decisive approach to addressing the problem. Dugan's passionate delivery emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the public's desire for effective solutions. While galamsey remains a challenge, the renewed political focus offers a glimmer of hope for environmental recovery in Ghana.
