In the past week, there have been unending conversations about, especially, the menace of illegal mining (commonly known as galamsey) and how it has devastated the arable lands of Ghana and polluted major water bodies.
With an earlier protest held a little over a week earlier, some young men and women poured out onto the streets again to protest on the same subject, and to press home demands for the release of some nearly 60 protesters from the #ReOccupyJulorbiHouse protest arrested and charged for various offences.
The arrest protesters have been placed in remand for two weeks, expected to end on October 8, when they re-appear in court.
In the ensuing, many persons from across various sectors, the different political divides, as well as the religious bodies and even persons living in the diaspora, have continuously called on the government led by President to put a stop to galamsey.
