A
group
calling
themselves
Responsible
Small
Scale
Miners
Association
of
Ghana
has
written
to
the
Ghana
Police
Service
of
their
intention
to
embark
on
a
strike
action.
According
to
a
statement
from
the
group,
they
intended
to
embark
on
this
demonstration
on
October
12,
2024,
in
Accra
against
Organised
labour.
The
statement
indicated
that
even
though
they
are
fully
aware
of
the
damage
to
the
water
bodies
by
illegal
miners,
they
don’t
support
the
stance
of
organised
labour.
It
stated
that
what
Organised
labour
should
be
looking
at
is
a
comprehensive
approach
to
address
the
root
cause
of
illegal
mining
in
the
country
and
not
their
intended
strike
actions
and
also
their
solution
to
ban
all
mining
activities
in
the
country.
