Newsfile to discuss nationwide blackouts, GoldBod controversy, galamsey and water quality

This Saturday on Newsfile, we take a hard look at three issues at the heart of Ghana’s economic security, public infrastructure and everyday life: the state of the power sector, GoldBod’s financial and operational performance, and the growing threat galamsey poses to the water we drink.

And as Ghana debates the value of its gold, another national resource is quietly being placed under increasing pressure: water.

Illegal mining continues to pollute rivers and increase turbidity, placing enormous pressure on water treatment plants and threatening the sustainability of some of Ghana’s most important water sources.
