The persistent problem of illegal mining, widely referred to as galamsey, has continued to wreak havoc on Ghana's environment, particularly its water bodies.
The Deputy National Director of A Rocha Ghana, Darly Bosu, has raised alarm over the worsening situation, emphasizing the dire state of key rivers like the Densu.
In an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Channel One TV's The Big Issue, Bosu expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response, especially in the period following the December 7, 2024 elections through the swearing-in of President John Dramani Mahama. "We don't see a commensurate action by the state agencies, particularly within the period between December 7, 2024, during the election period, right up to the swearing in of the President John Dramani Mahama, a lot happened and I don't think we can say it has gotten better, it has gotten worse.
It's rather getting worse.
