Catholic Bishops warn galamsey becoming source of employment for Ghanaian youth
The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has raised concerns that illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, is increasingly being relied on as a source of employment for young people, despite its devastating impact on the environment and communities.
The Conference also expressed concern over the alleged involvement of some politicians, Members of Parliament, Municipal and District Chief Executives and traditional leaders in illegal mining.
He called for firm and responsible action to end illegal mining, arguing that the environmental and social damage far outweighs any economic benefits.
