Bishop Gabriel Justice Yaw Anokye, current Archbishop of Kumasi, has expressed the Catholic Church's opposition to the strike action organised by Organised Labour in response to illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
He emphasised that addressing the galamsey crisis requires a comprehensive, non-partisan approach to ensure long-term solutions, a report by myjoyonline.com has said.
During a media interview, Bishop Anokye called for more constructive ways to address the concerns of workers, warning that strike actions often cause unintended harm, especially to the most vulnerable members of society.
He stressed that strikes, while possibly raising important issues, might undermine the broader efforts to solve the galamsey problem.
