There were heart-wrenching accounts about food, water, soil and even air in Konongo, heavily contaminated with poisonous heavy metals, such as, lead, arsenic, cyanide and mercury by galamseyers. Incidentally, Konongo/Asante-Akyem is one of Ghana’s breadbaskets, “exporting” yams, cocoyam, plantains, tomatoes, onions and fruits to other parts of Ghana, particularly Accra. In Kumasi, a final-year student of the Akenten-Appiah –Menka-University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) was stabbed to death. We are digging our own graves!”In Ghana, galamsey has degraded our forests/lands, polluted rivers and poisoned underground water with chemicals such as cyanide. He may, therefore, not have had time to read my article titled Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference and galamsey.
