Eco-Conscious Citizens sounds a public safety announcement about food and water insecurity due to illegal mining!

The effects of the activities of the environmental terrorists known as illegal miners, or galamseyers, impacts Ghanaians at home and abroad. The EPA (Environmental Protection Authority) and other organisations have found high levels of heavy metals, such as mercury, in Ghanaian staple foods like kontomire, which is enjoyed in stews in Ghana and its diaspora.

Ghana Water Company (GWC) does not remove the heavy metals left in water bodies by the illegal miners. So the fact that the water in Ghana may be clear does not mean it doesn't contain toxic heavy metals, such as mercury or cyanide. Only procedures such as reverse osmosis can remove such metals - this process is used by some bottled water brands, but not GWC.

Hopefully when the citizens of Ghana appreciate the extent of the threat to their health caused by the activities of the environmental terrorists, they may be more proactive in calling for a robust and sustained fight against the irresponsible miners by the government institutions charged with protecting our environment.
