Peaceful Way Of Eliminating Illegal Mining Galamsey
The issue and progeny about illegal mining known as "galamsey" which has exceedingly devastated our tremendous lands,water bodies and forests has become a national concern in Africa, since nobody seems to be exempted from the holocaust it possess.
It must not only be the SOLE responsibility of government to put a stop to it.
For this cause, it is expedient therefore for our TRADITIONAL CHIEFS as CUSTODIANS of our lands to show much concern in other to contribute their quota to PEACEFULLY eliminate this ongoing illegal called "galamsey".
Most times, these illegal miners have access to the lands by persuading individuals and inhabitants who own these lands by virtue of inheritance or with money.
Our CHIEFS therefore by the authority, have as the custodians of the lands, and are being closer to the inhabitants than the central government must endeavor to:
1. Educate their inhabitants on the dangers that "galamsey" brings to us not only lands but to human life.
This can be done through interactive programs like communal labour among others.
*Make set of laws that will safeguard the lands in their localities so as to avoid foreigners invading and destroying the lands for their selfish gains on the expense of the society. And must ENSURE that these rules are in fully enforced.
2. Bring to the realisation of the youths in their society that "galamsey" is not an alternative when looking for job but is a crime.They must also try in their capacity to put some structures in place that will help the youths get money for living;such as agriculture or aquaculture projects.
"Galamsey" is not a job oriented alternative and so we must join hands together to peacefully eliminate it.
Our lands have now been turned into cemeteries with uncovered graves- ready to grab any innocent being who mistakenly come closer to them.This is highly dangerous and I am empowering our CHIEFS as the CUSTODIANS of the lands to help in eliminate "galamsey"!!!
