Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has described the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, as a difficult challenge.
He expressed concern over the widespread environmental destruction caused by the activity, calling it deeply troubling.
Speaking during a meeting with Eagle Mining Company Limited officials at Manhyia on Monday, May 5, 2025, the Asantehene emphasised the urgent need to end the menace.
“This is a challenging time for us, where galamsey seemingly destroys most of our arable lands. Our river bodies are also being destroyed. It has been very challenging for us. We seek to find solutions that.
“What we want is to reclaim those lands and put them back into arable lands,” he stated.
