Apostolic Fathers of Ghana Urge Immediate Ban on Galamsey to Save Environment
In a bold move, the Apostolic Fathers of Ghana, a coalition of prominent Charismatic leaders, has called for a temporary ban on all forms of small-scale gold mining, commonly known as galamsey. Apexnewsgh reports This plea comes as the country grapples with the severe environmental and socio-economic damage caused by illegal mining activities. Led by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the group expressed profound concern over the escalating destruction linked to galamsey, citing the pollution of rivers, deforestation, and destruction of farmlands. They warned that if left unchecked, galamsey could precipitate an environmental disaster affecting both current and future generations. The Apostolic Fathers condemned the involvement of politicians, traditional leaders, and foreign nationals in illegal mining, urging them to cease their activities immediately. They praised journalists and activists who have risked their lives to expose the galamsey crisis and called on the media to continue raising awareness. Quoting Biblical principles, the group emphasized the responsibility to protect the environment and appealed to moral leaders and all Ghanaians to prioritize the nation’s long-term interests over short-term gains. They urged the government to enforce the Minerals and Mining Act and adopt sustainable mining practices that respect both the environment and citizens’ livelihoods. The Apostolic Fathers also called on the Water Resources Commission, EPA, and civil society organizations to intensify efforts in combating illegal mining and holding perpetrators accountable. Their statement serves as a clarion call to action, seeking to protect Ghana’s environment and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. Source: Apexnewsgh.com

Despite mounting pressure from civil society organizations, including the Trades Union Congress, the Ghana Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists, and the University Teachers Association of Ghana, who have called for a ban on all illegal mining activities and a state of emergency in mining communities, Mr. Jinapor emphasized the need for a balanced approach. The government’s stance comes as Organised Labour has threatened a potential nationwide strike by the end of the month if decisive action is not taken to combat the escalating galamsey crisis. Mr. Jinapor reassured the public that the government would continue to engage with labour unions and civil society groups to find a more sustainable solution, underscoring the importance of finding a common ground to tackle the menace without resorting to extreme measures.

Government Announces 45% Increase in Cocoa Producer Price, Boosting Farmers’ Earnings
In a significant move to support cocoa farmers and strengthen the agricultural sector, the government has announced a 45% increase in the producer price of cocoa for the 2024/2025 crop season. Apexnewsgh reports The new price of GHS3,000 per 64-kilogramme bag of cocoa beans marks a substantial rise from the previous price of GHS2,070. At a press briefing, Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, highlighted the scale of the price increase, noting that it represents a cumulative rise of 129.6% over the course of the entire season. He explained that the latest price adjustment follows an earlier increase at the start of the 2023/2024 crop season, which was driven by a spike in the global market spot price. The new rate of GHS3,000 per bag is expected to provide a strong incentive for farmers, and Dr. Acheampong outlined an ambitious production target of 650,000 metric tonnes for the 2024/2025 season. He noted that the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) is implementing measures to help farmers increase their yields through modern farming techniques, despite challenging weather conditions across West Africa. Despite these challenges, Dr. Acheampong expressed confidence that COCOBOD could surpass its production projections by the end of the season. The price increase is set to provide a significant economic boost to cocoa farmers across the country, strengthening the nation’s agricultural sector.
