Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has delivered a sharp rebuke to those engaged in illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey, calling them enemies of the state.
His remarks were made during an interview with Naa Dedei Tettey on Morning Starr, where he passionately addressed the ongoing environmental crisis facing the country. "When they contaminate the water, the Ghana Water Company doesn't ask what your party colour is before that water flows into your house.
If you're engaged in illegal mining, you are a criminal and an enemy of the state," he stated emphatically.
His comment underscores the nonpartisan nature of the destruction caused by illegal mining activities, as polluted water bodies affect Ghanaians regardless of political allegiance.
