Actor Prince David Osei is of the view that the issues surrounding galamsey must not be politicized.
He believes that the issue must be looked at with a nationalistic eye in order to combat it.
Making his point known in a post shared via X, Prince David Osei said “We must prioritize this issue beyond political interests and work together as a nation to eradicate illegal mining. Let us unite and take decisive action to protect our environment and natural resources. The time to act is now!”.
He noted that the current government cannot be blamed because that is clearly not the solution the country needs.
“There is a growing consensus that urgent action is needed to combat this menace. Blaming the current administration or specific groups for the problem is not the solution.”
The issue of illegal mining, known locally as “Galamsey,” is a significant concern that is gaining global attention due to its destructive impact on our water bodies, lands, and the environment. There is a growing consensus that urgent action is needed to combat this menace. Blaming the current administration or specific groups for the problem is not the solution. It is a collective responsibility for all citizens of Ghana to address the root causes, including poverty, greed, corruption, and selfishness. We must prioritize this issue beyond political interests and work together as a nation to eradicate illegal mining. Let us unite and take decisive action to protect our environment and natural resources. The time to act is now! #stopgalamseynow#stopillegalminning.
