Ghana in Focus special: Why small-scale mining (Galamsey) is a threat to Ghana's existence

<p>This week&apos;s episode takes a critical look at one of the most pressing and disturbing issues affecting Ghana, namely illegal small-scale mining or Galamsey as it is known.</p><p>We start by saying what this is and how in recent years has become more sinister and the adverse effects this is having on Ghana.</p><p>I point out that it is the insatiable greed of Ghanaians that has created the problems with illegal small-scale mining we see in the country.</p><p>We also investigate the role of non-Ghanaians in this venture, particularly the Chinese whose involvement in small scale illegal mining has taken a very sinister twist including a nefarious agenda of destroying Ghana&apos;s cocoa industry whilst at the time developing their own cocoa industry.</p><p>We advise that sub-Kings, senior police, senior army officials and politicians are ALL involved in this illegal small-scale mining for their own selfish gain.</p><p>We delve into some of the dire consequences that is already having a devastating impact on the country.</p><p>We conclude by stating the government of Ghana needs to do much much more in order to tackle this menace or Ghana risks being destroyed as an entity. <br/><br/>Please help Ghanaian farmers by being a sponsor - https://www.growforme.com/en</p><a target='_blank' href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1772797'>Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!</a> <br>Start for FREE<br><br>Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
