Illegal mining has taken a toll on Ghana's economy and environment. The fight to clamp it down on it, however, seems elusive and far from now. In the Savannah Region of Ghana, the impact of illegal mining on the Black Volta is impossible to miss. "GALAMSEY IN THE BLACK VOLTA" airing tomorrow.

Despite efforts to combat illegal gold mining on and along our water bodies, a disturbing video has surfaced showing galamsey operators actively using dredging machines to extract sediment from the Bonsa River. The river, which once served the entire Tarkwa area, has now been completely destroyed, leaving residents without access to potable water for domestic use.

What info am I hearing that Ghana has received 3.9 million pounds to fight illegal mining (Galamsey)? Our leaders are telling the West we lack capacity to fight against it? Or our leaders are indirectly telling us they don't know the perpetrators of galamsey menace?

This was the state of River pra in 2016, under John Dramani Mahama, Hon. Dompreh Was absolutely right. The NDC destroyed our water bodies than anyone. I didn’t want the galamsey fight to be politicized but yesterday on the floor of parliament, Cassiel Ato Forson (PhD) politicized it when he tried to put across that, this NPP Government has supervised the destruction of our water bodies, thankfully, Hon. Dompreh being very familiar with what actually happened under John Mahama argued that, it’s a total lie to say we’ve destroyed more water bodies because John Mahama and his NDC destroyed the water bodies than what’s happening under this current Government. The sad part is, under NDC nothing was done to stop galamsey but under NPP, galamseyers were arrested and some galamsey equipments burned to ashes but sadly, NDC on the hand goes to promise these galamseyers to vote against NPP because they (NDC) will let them do more galamsey to destroy our water bodies even more, NDC has politicized galamsey and that’s why we’ve still not being able to fully win against the galamsey fight.

Residents of the Jema township in the Western North Region have been lauded for their community-led fight against galamsey through the Jema Anti-Galamsey Advocacy (JAGA) task force and a customary ban on illegal mining activities imposed by traditional authorities. The results are evident in the community’s relatively pristine water bodies, which continue to support thriving ecosystems. [🎥: Erastus Asare Donkor]
