The Association has expressed deep concern over the alarming rate at which the country’s natural resources, particularly water bodies and forests, are being destroyed due to galamsey activities.
Speaking on Onua Tv, Kwaku Bonsam emphasized that the widespread destruction of the environment by these illegal miners has gone beyond tolerable limits.
According to him, the Association, comprising over 2000 members from across the country, is ready to take decisive action to protect Ghana’s natural heritage.
He noted that the damage caused by galamsey has led to the pollution of water sources, destruction of fertile lands, and a looming environmental crisis that threatens future generations.
Kwaku Bonsam revealed that beyond the peaceful demonstration, the association is preparing for a more spiritual approach to deal with those involved in galamsey.
He warned that the gods of the land would not sit idle while the nation’s resources are being desecrated.
He called on all traditional leaders, environmentalists, and Ghanaians to join in the protest to safeguard the environment for future generations.
