Concerned Farmers give security agencies 48-Hour ultimatum to end galamsey

The Concerned Farmers Association of Ghana has given security agencies a 48-hour ultimatum to stop illegal mining (galamsey), which is devastating the environment.

This comes after the Ghana Water Company revealed that 60% of water sources are polluted, reducing their treatment capacity.

Environmental groups like A Rocha Ghana and Eco-conscious Citizens have warned of severe consequences if galamsey continues.

The Association's president, Nana Oboadi Boateng Bonsu, criticized past anti-galamsey efforts, calling them ineffective, and urged security forces to take decisive action to protect the environment and agriculture.
