Environmental civil society organization, A Rocha Ghana, has expressed grave concern that the fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, is already failing under the new government.
The Deputy National Director of A Rocha Ghana, Daryl Bosu, warned that unless citizens rise to demand accountability and real action, the country risks enduring another four years of failed efforts to curb environmental degradation.
Speaking at a high-level multi-stakeholder dialogue in Kumasi on the worsening environmental crisis, Mr Bosu criticised the government's approach as ineffective, repetitive, and laden with excuses. "We had a previous government do their best, but we know that their best amounted to nothing.
This new government has taken over, and we can already see that we are on the same path to failure.
