The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Dr Kingsley Agyemang, has appealed for urgent action to stop illegal mining (galamsey), which he says has left thousands of residents without clean water and is destroying the very fabric of the community.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 8, titled “A Cry for Our Birim River and Our People: The Time to End Galamsey in Abuakwa South is Now,” Dr Agyemang said he has watched “with deep sorrow as the soul of Abuakwa South bleeds.”
