FixTheCountry Convenor, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has announced a vigil on Sunday, September 21, at Revolution Square in Accra to protest illegal mining and its environmental impact.
In a post on Facebook, he announced that, a public march will follow on Monday, September 22.
“The responsibility to protect and preserve the environment is by divine assignment, ours as a people. Our responsibility to end galamsey does not end at elections. Nor does it begin after our party loses one. This is bigger than petty politics.”
He urged citizens to join the events and demand urgent action on what he called “an environmental crisis of urgent proportions.” FixTheCountry has long criticized political interference in efforts to combat galamsey.
