Depressing reports. . . Ghana loses Galamsey's fight? | General news

The hope that various mbades of the country's water regain their state of cleanliness and natural purity was ignited after the media launched a campaign against illegal mining known as the "Galamsey", supported by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

President Akufo-Addo put his presidency at stake when he vowed to fight against Galamsey's canker.

"But it was said that I should be careful because many of these people voted for me and if I continue this exercise, they would not vote for me. We have the duty to protect it for those who come after us and if our river bodies dry up, our landscape is being desecrated. We have the responsibility to say no, we can not allow this to continue for our own survival and that of those to come. If we allow this to continue, we are jeopardizing our own future, " President Akufo-Addo said at the time.

Operation Vanguard, a mixed operational force composed of military and police, was then created to end the threat.

After a few months, information began to arrive, indicating that some of the water mbades had started to be cleaned.

However, corruption began to appear after officials responsible for dealing with illegal miners allegedly began collecting bribes to allow them to continue their illegal activities.

Peace FM & # 39; s regional correspondents were sent to some of these areas of Galamsey and submitted their reports.
