Why Ghana’s “galamsey” fight has become a waste of time

The last few weeks has witnessed another mass outcry over the menace of “galamsey” in Ghana. Galamsey is a catchall word used to describe “illegal mining”, usually for gold. Ordinarily, it should mean “mining without a license”, but in Ghana several individuals, groups, and companies purporting to have small-scale or community (artisanal) mining licenses go about their activities so irresponsibly that their effects on the environment are no different from the so-called “unlicensed” or “illegal” miners. Even some large-scale, ostensibly modern, mining companies occasionally incur the wrath of community activists like WACAM for poor pollution avoidance practices.
