The Deputy National Director of A Rocha Ghana, Darly Bosu, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dalex Finance, Joe Jackson, have urged the Mahama government, to adopt more decisive measures against illegal mining, commonly referred to as “galamsey”.
They argue that the administration is failing to adequately address the issue, which has resulted in severe pollution of water bodies, destruction of forest cover, and the loss of livelihoods due to the devastation of farmlands.
