If you’re serious about galamsey fight, arrest the “big men” behind it – A Plus to Armah Kofi Buah

In a recent statement, musician and political activist A-Plus urged the Ghanaian government to take decisive action against illegal mining, known as "galamsey." He emphasized that the fight against this issue should not only target small-scale miners but also focus on arresting influential figures who finance and support these operations. A-Plus highlighted that many of these powerful individuals operate with impunity, undermining efforts to combat environmental degradation and corruption associated with galamsey.

A-Plus's comments were directed at Armah Kofi Buah, a former Minister of Energy, during a discussion about the ongoing challenges posed by illegal mining in Ghana. He criticized the government's approach for being ineffective and called for a more comprehensive strategy that addresses the root causes of galamsey. By targeting high-profile offenders, he believes it would send a strong message about accountability and commitment to preserving Ghana's natural resources.

The activist's remarks resonate with growing public frustration over the government's inability to curb illegal mining activities effectively. As environmental concerns mount, A-Plus's call for action reflects a broader demand for transparency and justice in tackling this pressing national issue.
