Blaming Akufo-Addo govt cannot stop galamsey - Prince David Osei
Ghanaian actor and staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party, Prince David Osei, has recently shared his thoughts on the pressing issue of illegal mining, commonly referred to as Galamsey, urging citizens to refrain from blaming the current government for the problem.
In his view, the focus should shift from political finger-pointing to addressing the broader implications of Galamsey, which poses a national crisis affecting all Ghanaians.
During a recent post on his official X account, the award-winning actor emphasised that the issue of illegal mining is garnering global attention due to its detrimental effects on the environment, particularly concerning the contamination of water bodies and degradation of land.
He articulated that while there is a growing consensus on the urgent need for action against this menace, placing blame on the current administration or specific factions will not yield solutions.
Osei called for a collective effort from all citizens to tackle the underlying issues that contribute to illegal mining, such as poverty, greed, corruption, and selfishness.
He firmly believes that addressing these root causes requires a unified approach that transcends political affiliations. Highlighting the necessity of prioritising the environment and natural resources, he implored Ghanaians to come together to take decisive action against illegal mining.
Osei concluded his message with a rallying cry for immediate action, reinforcing that the time to act is now, and encouraging a united front to combat this critical issue affecting the nation.
“The issue of illegal mining, known locally as “Galamsey,” is a significant concern that is gaining global attention due to its destructive impact on our water bodies, lands, and the environment. There is a growing consensus that urgent action is needed to combat this menace. Blaming the current administration or specific groups for the problem is not the solution. It is a collective responsibility for all citizens of Ghana to address the root causes, including poverty, greed, corruption, and selfishness. We must prioritize this issue beyond political interests and work together as a nation to eradicate illegal mining. Let us unite and take decisive action to protect our environment and natural resources. The time to act is now! #stopgalamseynow#stopillegalminning.”
