Archbishop Bonaventure Kwofie, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, has expressed the Catholic Church's opposition to the strike action organized by Organised Labour in response to illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
He emphasized that addressing the galamsey crisis requires a comprehensive, non-partisan approach to ensure long-term solutions.
During a media interview, Archbishop Kwofie 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.
