Awulae Attibrukusu III, the Paramount Chief of the Lower Axim Traditional Area, has charged traditional rulers in Ghana, especially those under his jurisdiction to refrain from illegal mining activities popularly called galamsey.
They should rather channel their support towards government's effort to fight the menace which was wrecking much havoc on river bodies and forest reserves.
He said that traditional rulers should be the first to act as vanguards to nip galamsey activities in the bud in their respective communities.
According to Awulae Attibrukusu III, galamsey activities have dire consequences on the country with babies born with deformities and causing pre-mature deaths as well degradable lands and polluted water which threatening the very survival of Ghanaians.
