In a move to combat the escalating threat of illegal mining, known locally as galamsey, the government is calling on Organised Labour to spearhead a national pact among political parties.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged all presidential candidates to incorporate this initiative into their election pledges, highlighting the urgency of a unified response to this pressing national issue.
This collaborative effort aims to bring together diverse stakeholders in the fight against illegal mining, which has wreaked havoc on the environment and undermined the country’s natural resources.
The President’s call for solidarity comes at a critical time, as Ghana grapples with the adverse effects of galamsey on water bodies and forest reserves.
