Cadman Atta Mills, brother of the late President John Evans Atta Mills, has strongly criticised the government\u2019s handling of illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.<\/p>\n

He warned that the human and environmental costs of the activity cannot be justified by the recent recovery of the cedi.<\/p>\n

In a blunt statement posted on X formerly Twitter, Mr. Mills said, \u201c I refuse to pay for the accolades President Mahama and the NDC is receiving for the cedi\u2019s recovery with my health or life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"I<\/figure>\n

Mr. Mills\u2019 remarks come as the government celebrates what it describes as a stabilisation of the economy, particularly the cedi\u2019s rebound. <\/p>\n

He argued that whether described as galamsey or \u201clegal\u201d small-scale mining operations backed by politically connected financiers, the destructive impact remains the same. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is killing us,\u201d he stressed, pointing to the widespread pollution of rivers, degradation of farmlands, and the rising health risks confronting communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
