Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah, a former United Nations Senior Governance Advisor, has urged Ghanaians to honour the eight victims of last week's helicopter crash by committing to a renewed and uncompromising fight against illegal mining, popularly known as "galamsey." Prof.
Agyeman-Duah, speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at the Evening of Reflection and Memorial in Honour of the Eight Departed State Officials, said the incident should reawaken national resolve to eliminate galamsey, which he described as the biggest threat to Ghana's sustainability.
The memorial, attended by government officials, security service representatives, traditional leaders, political figures, and members of the public, served as a tribute to the departed and a rallying point for national unity.
He said, "The demise of our eight compatriots should give us a new impetus in fighting galamsey.
