A former director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansah-Asare, has called on Organised Labour to dismiss President Akufo-Addo's plea to abandon their planned nationwide strike against illegal mining.
Mr Ansah-Asare expressed disappointment in the president's handling of the galamsey crisis and urged labour leaders to proceed with their protest as scheduled.
President Akufo-Addo made an appeal to Organised Labour during a meeting on Thursday, October 3, asking them to reconsider the strike, which is set for October 10.
The president reassured the labour leaders of his administration's commitment to tackling the environmental destruction caused by illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
