Catholic Bishop of Jasikan, Most Rev. Gabriel Ababio Mante speaks his mind on galamsey!

In this video, the Catholic Bishop of Jasikan, Most Rev. Gabriel Ababio Mante, shares his strong views on the destructive impact of galamsey (illegal mining) in Ghana. He describes the situation as a form of self-destruction, noting that if Ghana were divided into five parts, perhaps one has already been ruined (1:05-1:12).

Here are the key points from the Bishop's discussion:

Health and Environmental Impact: The Bishop highlights severe consequences, including the birth of deformed children without limbs or eyes due to environmental pollution (1:19-1:24) and the destruction of vast forest areas and valuable trees (4:32-4:42).

Failures in Governance: He criticizes the failure to curb the menace, mentioning reports of Chinese nationals being arrested and then released by police, only to return to illegal mining activities (1:26-1:43). He also questions the sovereignty of Ghana when foreigners can destroy resources with impunity (4:48-4:58).

Proposed Solutions: Bishop Mante calls for a firm stance, suggesting that President Mahama should enforce strict measures regardless of human rights arguments (3:33-3:43). He advocates for the establishment of a special court to try those involved in galamsey, similar to courts established for military officers in the past (3:47-4:18).

Severe Punishment: He emphasizes that those fronting for foreign nationals should receive much harsher penalties, such as 10 years in prison compared to one year for the foreigners (5:09-5:17).
