A renowned Ghanaian clergyman and Vatican official, Peter Appiah Turkson, has expressed concern over the government's inability to curb illegal mining, locally known as galamsey.
Speaking during an interview on TV3's The Big Issue, Cardinal Turkson warned that the destructive activities of galamsey are not only devastating Ghana's forests and water bodies but also jeopardizing the nation's economic future.
Cardinal Turkson cautioned that Ghana is drifting away from the visionary leadership of its first president, Dr.
Kwame Nkrumah.
