Ahafo Clergy call for stronger action against galamsey and Tano river pollution

Speaking on Sunday at the climax of the New Apostolic Church’s 2026 Annual Youth Camp in Bechem in the Tano South Municipality, Apostle Patrick Konadu Yiadom, the Sunyani Area Apostle of the Church, highlighted the critical threat galamsey poses to public health and biodiversity.

Addressing young people, he admonished the youth involved in illegal mining not to let the pursuit of quick wealth blind them to the long-term destruction of Ghana's lands, forests, and rivers.

Clergy members in the Ahafo Region, notably from the New Apostolic Church, have joined the rising national calls for decisive government action against illegal mining, locally known as galamsey.
