Catholic Church of the Accra Archdiocese, in collaboration with the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious in Ghana, will be leading a large-scale prayer protest next week.

This initiative seeks to rally Ghanaians from all walks of life to unite in both prayer and action to end the devastation caused by galamsey.

The protest, scheduled for Friday, 11 October 2024, which is expected to draw support from over 50 organisations that have already voiced concerns over galamsey, will combine prayer with public demonstrations.

In a statement, the organisers emphasised the spiritual dimension of the fight against illegal mining, urging citizens to “call on God to do what we cannot do as humans to intervene in this galamsey fight.”

The church also highlighted the importance of human effort in the battle against the environmental destruction caused by galamsey.

“While we as human beings also do our bit to get the government to do the needful to stop galamsey, we must not forget the power of prayer,” the statement noted.

Participants will march through the streets with placards, expressing their concerns about the ongoing crisis.

The event will culminate in the presentation of petitions to key national figures, including President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, and Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

The protest will end with a solemn Episcopal Mass led by His Grace, the Archbishop of Accra, as the main celebrant.

Organisers are calling on all Ghanaians to join the movement and “pray and petition to stop galamsey immediately.”
