Let’s implement a national solution to halt the galamsey menace – Yofi Grant

GIPC CEO Yofi Grant emphasized that tackling illegal mining, or galamsey, is a national responsibility, not just a task for the government.

Recent reports from Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) highlighted severe water pollution in Cape Coast due to *galamsey*, sparking public concern.

Speaking on Starr Chat, Grant noted that the fight against galamsey transcends political divides, requiring unified national efforts.

He advocated for educating miners on safer practices and suggested creating alternative economic opportunities as profitable as illegal mining. He expressed his hope to end *galamsey*, noting its harmful impact on water sources and public health.
