A video of a pure water seller selling galamsey pure water in traffic has popped up.
In the viral video, a water was branded as the usual pure water consumed by Ghanaians. The pure water, named “Pure Galamsey Water,” had a logo on it that looked like the Ghana Standard Authority logo.
A taxi driver was also heard in the video calling for some of the galamsey water from the seller.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Water Company on numerous occasions has said they are unable to treat the water for its consumers due to the turbidity of the water from these galamsey-affected rivers, forcing the company’s treatment plant in some regions to shut down on some occasions.
Ghanaians have hit the streets in recent days to protest their displeasure against illegal mining destroying the river bodies in the country and are demanding action from the government against illegal mining.
In a press statement dated October 9, 2024, President Akufo-Addo directed the Minister for Defense to deploy additional military forces to intensify the ongoing “Operation Halt”, which aims to curb illegal mining activities.
