Galamsey is becoming a national survival issue – Annoh-Dompreh

Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has warned that illegal mining is becoming a serious threat to Ghana’s water bodies, vegetation and livelihoods.

The Minority Chief Whip further raised concern about illegal mining activities allegedly taking place along sections of the Accra-Kumasi highway.

According to him, rising turbidity levels in the river and the destruction of flora and fauna point to the worsening environmental impact of illegal mining.
