FixTheCountry, a movement led by Oliver Barker-Vormawor, is set to organize a two-day event to raise awareness about the devastating impact of illegal mining, known as galamsey.
A vigil will be held at Revolution Square in Accra on Sunday, September 21, followed by a public march on Monday, September 22, a national holiday, to highlight the urgent need for collective action against galamsey.
“The responsibility to protect and preserve the environment is by divine assignment, ours as a people.” “Our responsibility to end galamsey does not end at elections. Nor does it begin after our party loses one. This is bigger than petty politics” Oliver noted.
FixTheCountry aims to channel public frustration into civic action and encourage citizens to take a stand against environmental destruction.
