In a symbolic act of protest, constituents in Suhum, Ghana, presented a container of water allegedly contaminated by illegal gold mining activities, known as “galamsey,” to the NPP parliamentary candidate, Frank Asiedu Bekoe. This gesture was a direct response to accusations of his own involvement in galamsey operations which is a bad action in Ghana.
The presentation, which was broadcast on the TV3 news program “NewDay,” highlights the growing concern within the community regarding the environmental damage caused by galamsey.
The act serves as a public condemnation of Bekoe’s alleged role in the illicit mining practices and a demand for accountability.
This event, which was part of a “Community Manifesto” initiative, underscores the importance of addressing the issue of galamsey and the need for transparency in the political process.
The constituents’ action seeks to hold candidates accountable for their environmental practices and raise awareness about the devastating impact of illegal mining on their communities.
