Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng Demands an Immediate Leadership Transition to Address the Environmental and Galamsey Issues

Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, a former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation in Ghana, has publicly called for an immediate leadership transition to tackle the escalating environmental degradation and illegal mining (galamsey) issues plaguing the country. In his statement, he criticizes the current administration for its perceived inaction and lack of commitment to addressing these critical problems, which he believes are undermining Ghana's natural resources and future sustainability. Frimpong-Boateng, who has been a vocal advocate against galamsey, emphasizes the need for a new, dedicated leadership that can enforce existing laws, restore damaged ecosystems, and ensure the protection of water bodies and forest reserves. He also highlights the socio-economic implications, including health hazards and economic losses, urging for a comprehensive strategy that involves community engagement, stricter regulations, and international cooperation to curb the menace of illegal mining.
