Bernard Mornah backs calls for urgent action on galamsey

People's National Convention (PNC) leader, Bernard Mornah, has urged the government to take decisive action against illegal mining (galamsey).

Speaking after joining a protest organized by Catholic priests, Mornah emphasized the church's role in addressing the issue, given its large membership. He highlighted that protecting the environment is crucial for humanity's survival.

The Catholic Church, after the protest, presented a petition to President Akufo-Addo, urging the government to eradicate galamsey and calling on political candidates to publicly denounce the practice ahead of the upcoming elections.
