Issues of illegal mining brought the country to a sudden standstill as videos and pictures of mining sites and polluted water bodies went viral on social media. Recently, prominent water bodies providing domestic services to indigenes and the country was seen heavily polluted with high turbidity, rendering it unfit for domestic use. Lands and the natural ecosystem were destroyed as well due to chemical pollution.
Ghanaians as concerned citizens took it to the streets to demonstrate for three days in a row just to draw the attention of government on the rising menace. The president of the republic has taken actions and results are already manifesting. In his recent tour in Northern Ghana, he was heard daring flag-bearer of the NDC to declare his stand on illegal mining for his government did same and is still fighting the menace. This statement caused heated arguments on social media as many netizens backlashed the President’s statement.
In a post sighted on the official twitter of TV3 Ghana is a video featuring Johnnie Hughes, one of Ghana’s notable journalists, hosting his usual morning show. Speaking on the issue of illegal mining, he urged the President to focus solely on fighting the menace posed by illegal mining for he has the power now and should refrain from calling for debates against the two flag-bearers (NPP and NDC) and other issues of low interest. He condemned the President’s request for John Mahama to declare his stand on illegal mining. “Galamsey is calling and all we need is equalization”, he added.
