(Video) Galamsey Scandal: Soldiers caught accepting Bribe
A recent video that has surfaced online is intensifying concerns regarding the persistent issue of illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, in Ghana.
The footage reportedly shows two soldiers allegedly accepting bribes to permit illegal mining operations to continue unimpeded.
In the video, the individual recording the incident claims that the soldiers arrived at the illegal mining site specifically to receive payments in exchange for overlooking the ongoing activities.
This revelation suggests a troubling level of complicity among law enforcement personnel, raising questions about the effectiveness of the government’s efforts to combat illegal mining.
The video captures two soldiers in military attire, who appear to be leaving the area after allegedly collecting their bribes from the site operators.
According to the claims made by the person filming, these soldiers are frequent visitors to the site, consistently receiving a share of the profits generated by the illegal mining operations.
This practice contributes to the continued exploitation of Ghana’s natural resources while undermining legal enforcement efforts.
As the fight against galamsey remains a contentious issue in the country, this video has sparked outrage and further debate about the integrity of those tasked with enforcing the law.
Many are calling for increased accountability and measures to ensure that such corruption does not hinder the efforts to protect Ghana’s environment and resources.
