Act Responsibly; stop taking money from ‘galamsey’ promoters – Erastus Asare Donkor urges journalists

Popular award-winning environmental journalist from the Multimedia Group, Erastus Asare Donkor, has advised co-workers taking money from people involved in illegal mining popularly known as galamsey.

The P.A.V. Ansah 2022 Journalist of the Year made the strident call in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem.

“As the Fourth Estate of the Realm, Erastus has urged journalists to hold task bearers responsible in the fight against galamsey and not donate to the problems of the general public.

He highlighted the media’s major role in the fight, which has caused depredation to water bodies, the environment, and health.

‘Some journalists go to the financiers of galamsey to take money and insult people fighting the menace. We have a role to play in promoting the good governance we want.’

‘We can never win the fight against galamsey if we contribute to taking money and shy away from our duties because we will all suffer the brunt of galamsey. It is no respecter of person or party colours,’ he said.’
