The galamseyers are engaged in biological warfare against the State of Ghana, and their use of mercury and other heavy-metal pollutants constitute a deployment of weapons of mass destruction against the nation-state and its people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fully pledge, on my honour, and in the name of God and Country, to sign unconditionally and without hesitation the Anti-Galamsey Declaration sponsored by the TUC. The PPP is proud of the steps taken by the TUC and organized labour to step forward to defend the country against state-capture and state-sponsored terrorism led by a group of selfish, greedy and unpatriotic Ghanaians who believe that Ghana should have been bequeathed to them as their colony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PPP called on Organised Labour to ignore the calls by the President to give him more time to solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis President has been in power for close to eight years and failed in tackling the illegal mining. His calls are only directed at getting more time for his party members to continue to perpetuate this and other heinous crimes against the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PPP is seeking an opportunity to come to power to govern with integrity and discipline that will promote peace and prosperity for all,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1094739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-07-174454.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"848\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1094738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-07-174514.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"842\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<br \/>#ElectionBureau<br \/>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP) has backed Organised Labour\u2019s intended nationwide strike to compel the government to declare a state of emergency to tackle the illegal mining (galamsey) menace.
