The government of Ghana has expressed disappointment over Organised Labour’s decision to proceed with a nationwide strike scheduled for October 10, despite their recent meeting and agreement to combat illegal mining, also known as galamsey.
Organised Labour has been pushing for the president to declare a state of emergency on illegal mining and implement long-term solutions to address the issue.
In a statement released on Monday, October 7, Information Minister Fatimatu Abubakar expressed shock at Organised Labour’s insistence on proceeding with the strike, given the government’s commitment to fighting illegal mining.
The government has also backed calls for presidential candidates to sign a pact against illegal mining and has decided to revoke the Environmental Protection Regulations 2023 (L.I 2462) when Parliament reconvenes.
