Illegal mining, known locally as 'galamsey,' has become a major national crisis in Ghana, sparking widespread political debate and public outcry. The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and other civil society groups have threatened strikes and demanded a state of emergency, citing government inaction and environmental devastation. The Minority in Parliament accuses the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of hypocrisy and failing to curb the menace, while also alleging that state actors are shielding illegal mining networks. Government officials claim progress and renewed commitment, but critics argue that the situation has worsened, with calls for tougher laws, prosecution of financiers, and even a ban on small-scale mining. The crisis has exposed deep political divisions and raised urgent questions about governance, accountability, and the future of Ghana's environment.
