The Paramount Chief of the Denkyira Traditional Area, Osaberima Tsibu Kwaw Darko, has asked President to ensure the immediate release of the over 50 persons arrested during a protest against illegal mining.
According to Osaberima Tsibu Kwaw Darko, it is galamsey, its associated risks, and its perpetrators who are the enemies of the state, not those who are demanding an end to the menace. "I am talking to our president, His Excellency Akufo-Addo, that enough is enough.
He must impose a ban on galamsey.
We will not sit aloof and watch our waters get destroyed; we will not sit and watch our children struggle to get good drinking water in the future.
