Media Coalition Against Galamsey, Dr Kenneth Ashigbey, has criticised the country’s leaders for failing to effectively combat illegal mining activities polluting water bodies.
According to him, the issue extends beyond security challenges to a broader leadership failure, pointing out that illegal mining in water bodies currently occurs openly without intervention.
Speaking to JoyNews, Dr Ashigbey stated that water pollution issues have plagued the Ghana Water Company for some time, leading to significant problems for those who rely on these water sources.
He expressed concern that even treated water may still contain traces of metallic substances, raising questions about the safety of bottled and sachet water.
