The Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, in partnership with the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious and Catholic Lay Faithful and Professionals, on Friday, October 10 embarked on an Environmental Prayer Protest Walk Against Galamsey.
This initiative was to raise awareness about the devastating impact of illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, and call for urgent government action to address the issue.
They also advocated for a state of emergency concerning mining activities, particularly in areas surrounding water bodies and forest reserves.
The walk began at the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Adabraka, with participants marching through Ridge Roundabout, Ako Adjei Roundabout, the National Police Headquarters, and ended at Christ the King Parish.
They presented a petition which was received by the Deputy Chief of Staff, Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman.
