This galamsey issue has gone beyond politics.
The moment you speak against it, some people assume you’re supporting one political party or attacking another. But this is bigger than NPP, NDC, or any politician. This is about Ghana.
Go on TikTok today and you’ll see people openly livestreaming galamsey operations. Some are even using the comment sections to recruit others into illegal mining. People are dropping phone numbers, asking how to join, and coordinating activities in broad daylight.
Where are our security agencies? Where is the monitoring? Where is the enforcement?
This should concern the Ghana Police Service, National Security, the Forestry Commission, the Minerals Commission, and every institution responsible for protecting our land and water bodies. Social media platforms are becoming recruitment grounds for an activity that is destroying rivers, forests, farmlands, and communities.
And as citizens, we cannot stay silent. If someone is using social media to promote or recruit people into galamsey, report it. Raise awareness. Speak up.
We’ve listened to promises from different governments over the years. We’ve seen task forces, speeches, and press conferences. Yet our rivers continue to turn brown and our forests continue to disappear.
Enough of the politics. Enough of the excuses.
This is one fight that every Ghanaian should be united on.
