Rivers are polluted. Wells are running dry; the water from the taps
is not the best for drinking. There seems to be a war of some sort
against our rivers by illegal miners popularly called ‘Galamsey’. They
mine gold and diamonds in the rivers indiscriminately.
They divert river channels. They fell trees in their way near the
river banks. They wash the gold with heavy metals such as mercury and
cyanide and allow them to enter the rivers. Illegal logging along the
river banks follows closely.
