National Evangelist Condemns Galamsey Menace: Calls for Urgent Action

In a poignant address at a press conference held in Accra, Reverend Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach (WMO), delivered a scathing rebuke against the persistent blight of illegal mining, known as galamsey, plaguing the nation. He minced no words, labeling the situation as a stain on the collective conscience of the nation, with all responsible parties deserving reproach.

Dr. Tetteh's impassioned plea extended beyond mere condemnation, urging a collective awakening and action from all segments of society, regardless of social status, to combat the nefarious practice. He underscored the imperative for accountability, particularly among the ruling political class, chiefs, and security agencies, condemning their apathy towards the issue.

The urgency of the matter was emphasized by Dr. Tetteh, who framed galamsey as a direct threat to both present and future generations. His sentiments echoed the overarching theme of the ongoing national prayer rally, jointly organized by the WMO and Lawrence Tetteh Ministries (LTM), aptly titled "This Nonsense Must Stop."

Galamsey, according to Dr. Tetteh, stands as one of the paramount 'nonsenses' that demand immediate cessation for the nation's sustainable development and longevity. He called upon the presidency, traditional leaders, and law enforcement agencies to exercise their authority decisively in halting this destructive activity, cautioning of dire consequences if left unchecked.

Moreover, Dr. Tetteh drew attention to the symbiotic relationship between corruption, nepotism, and the persistence of galamsey, asserting that these maladies collectively undermine national development efforts. He called for a holistic approach in addressing these root causes, urging state anti-graft institutions to fulfill their constitutional mandate rigorously.

The evangelist's remarks come against the backdrop of persistent government efforts to curb illegal mining activities since 2017, including the deployment of specialized security operations and legislative amendments imposing stringent penalties. However, despite these measures, galamsey continues to thrive, necessitating renewed vigor in combating the menace.

Dr. Tetteh's clarion call serves as a stark reminder of the existential threat posed by galamsey and the imperative for concerted action at all levels of society to safeguard the nation's land and water resources for posterity.
