Adawudu believes prosecution is not enough to tackle galamsey. He argues that a broader approach is needed. Simply punishing offenders won't solve the problem.

Galamsey refers to illegal mining activities in Ghana. This issue has caused significant environmental damage. It also affects local communities and their livelihoods.

Adawudu suggests that education and awareness are crucial. Communities must understand the risks of illegal mining. Sustainable practices should be promoted instead.

He emphasizes collaboration among stakeholders. Government, civil society, and miners need to work together. A comprehensive strategy will help address the galamsey crisis effectively.
