Galamsey crisis: Seek help if you're overwhelmed - Bono Regional Minister told
Nana Krampah Hagan, the Nkosuohene of the Atronie Stool lands, expressed deep disappointment over what he describes as Bono Regional Minister Joseph Akwaboa's failure to act swiftly against illegal mining activities. Nana Krampah revealed that the worsening situation has now forced some residents and local authorities to flee their homes. He stated, "Currently, the Assemblyman, the Odikro, and some residents have fled Jinjini in Atronie. This is very unacceptable and disheartening."
The devastation caused by illegal mining, known as galamsey, has reached a critical stage despite repeated warnings from traditional leaders and residents. Nana Krampah recalled that chiefs had repeatedly engaged the Bono Regional Minister and raised concerns over illegal mining activities, particularly the destruction of the Amomobra River. He said the current crisis could have been prevented if decisive measures had been taken earlier.
