Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa, President of The Green Republic Project (TGRP), has called on all political parties and the general Ghanaian populace to see the galamsey battle as one that needs a concerted effort to overcome and not one to be politicised. "I believe in the ingenuity of the Ghanaian people in overcoming obstacles if we choose to work to­gether.

I therefore call for a National approach to dealing with the issue going forward.

Such a dangerous cancer like galamsey can simply not be treated as a subject for politicisa­tion of whish's end result would be the wiping of Ghana off the map.

That is how serious the crisis is" he said in a statement issued in Accra yesterday.
