Comic Ghanaian actor Osoode has joined the conversation about illegal mining activities and their destruction in the country.
He said in an interview with SeanCity Media that no government can stop the menace if proper measures are not put in place.
“I am not sure there’s a government that can stop galamsey in Ghana because it is helping the youths. No government can do that. Therefore, if any government wants to stop it, there must be proper measures in place to regulate it. One of the major contributing factors to economic growth in Ghana is gold.
“People have been licensed to mine so their activities must be checked so that those who are not obeying the regulations will be stopped. One other important measure is to, also, sell the raw materials to the government and not individuals,” he stated.
The Akufo-Addo administration is fighting against ‘galamsey,’ or illicit mining, which threatens water supplies and natural habitats.
Many Ghanaians have spoken in on the debate, with some advocating a complete outlawing of the practice while others argue that better regulation is the way to go.
