Our children deserve better - Efia Odo speaks against galamsey

In an upcoming episode of Rants, Bants, and Confessions, hosted by Gisela Amponsah, Efia Odo, and Princess Burland, Efia Odo has made headlines once again, this time for her passionate stance against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.

During the discussion, Odo expressed her anger and concern about the consequences of galamsey on communities, particularly regarding public health and the environment.

She highlighted the alarming rise in birth deformities and various health issues linked to galamsey activities, emphasizing that these are not just statistics but real-life tragedies affecting families across Ghana.

“The implications of galamsey go beyond economic gains; they directly harm our people and future generations. I will continue to advocate for an end to this devastating practice,” Odo stated.

The actress underscored her commitment to speaking out on such issues regardless of political affiliations.

“I don’t need to belong to the NDC or NPP to raise my voice against what is wrong,” she asserted, touching on a critical point in Ghanaian politics where party loyalties often overshadow discussions on environmental and social issues. Her perspective calls for a more unified approach to tackling national problems without the constraints of partisan politics.

Her concerns resonated with her co-hosts, who echoed the sentiment that the galamsey crisis is a pressing environmental issue with far-reaching effects.

They urged viewers to recognise the absurdity of the ongoing situation and take informed action towards a solution.

The episode aims to shed light on the realities of galamsey, pushing for greater awareness and responsibility among citizens.
