The Ghana Catholic Bishop Conference (GCBC) has refuted claims that it is organizing an environmental prayer protest walk against galamsey, a form of illegal mining, in Ghana.

According to Most Rev.

Gabriel Justice Anokye, Archbishop of Kumasi, the prayer walk is actually being organized by the Accra Archdiocese.

This clarification comes amidst attempts by some political elements to politicize the issue.The GCBC has been vocal about its opposition to galamsey, citing its devastating impact on the environment and human lives.
