Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kumawood Actor Osoode has added his voice to the discussion concerning destructive illegal mining practices in the nation.
In an interview with Sean City Media, he claimed that if appropriate precautions are not taken, no government will be able to stop the threat.
“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 illegal mining practice known as “galamsey,” which endangers water sources and natural ecosystems, is fought against by the Akufo-Addo administration.
Many Ghanaians have weighed in on the discussion, with some calling for the practice to be completely outlawed and others arguing that improved regulation is indeed the solution.
