Ghana Coalition Against Galamsey (GCAG) has condemned in strong terms Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2462 for vesting presidential authority to approve mining in forest reserves, labelling it a frontal attack on the country’s environmental integrity and constitutional order. At a press briefing organized by the Ghana Coalition Against Galamsey (GCAG) in Accra, Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences (GAAS) Professor Akosua Adomako Ampofo, stated that the regulation provides a perilous precedent by de facto weakening established environmental restraints and permitting large-scale destruction of ecologically valuable environments. “This is not just a policy failure. It is a failure in law and the…

Policy Analyst and Member of the Ghana Coalition Against Galamsey (GCAG), Mr. Senyo Hosi, has called on Ghanaians to prepare for mass civil action in response to the government’s failure to address illegal mining, widely known as galamsey, and to repeal Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2462, which permits mining in forest reserves. Speaking at a GCAG press conference in Accra, Mr. Hosi stated that continued environmental destruction and the capture of public policy by criminal interests have left citizens with no option but to take to the streets. “Efforts at persuasion have failed. The only force left is mass social action,”…

For months, Ghanaians have witnessed the cedi plummet against the dollar, causing price surges, eroding savings, and destabilizing the economy. So, when news spread that the cedi had begun to regain its strength, a wave of relief swept the nation, from traders in Makola to parents managing school fees and importers adjusting their budgets. The cedi’s appreciation wasn’t random. It’s the outcome of deliberate efforts—both local and global. But the real question remains: Can Ghana sustain this momentum? After all, currency gains aren’t just figures on a screen—they impact real lives, businesses, and the daily grind of millions. What’s Behind…

Not too long ago, Ghana’s movie industry—known to many as Ghallywood—was a source of national pride. Our living rooms lit up with Ghanaian stories on CDs and DVDs, our screens filled with the voices and faces of stars we loved. From “I Sing of a Well” to Agya Koo’s comedies and the captivating storytelling of Shirley Frimpong-Manso, we had our unique kind of magic. But somehow, along the way, that magic started to fade. The once-thriving industry is now struggling to survive. Big-budget productions have become scarce, local cinemas are dwindling, and numerous talented actors and filmmakers have had to…

Ghana, a land blessed with gold and rich in mining heritage, has long taken pride in its mineral wealth. But today, that very blessing threatens to become its downfall. Illegal mining, locally called galamsey, has evolved from a small-scale activity into a full-blown national crisis, endangering Ghana’s rivers, forests, public health, and social stability. Despite military interventions, presidential promises, and new policies rolled out over the years, the galamsey menace remains deeply entrenched. This raises a painful but urgent question: What will it take for Ghana to break free from the grip of illegal mining? More Than Just Holes in…
