This Saturday’s edition of JoyNews’ Newsfile discussed the rising issue of failed government efforts to combat illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
This topic has sparked widespread frustration as environmental damage worsens and accountability falters.
The conversation explored how the government's shortcomings in addressing galamsey fuel public dissatisfaction, potentially justifying the growing wave of protests and strikes from Organised Labour among others.
With civil society groups and concerned citizens pushing for more decisive action while the government is seeking more time, the discussion will delve into the escalating tensions and the potential for further unrest.
The public was allowed to talk about the matter and propose solutions.
