In a recent conversation, Odo expressed her deep anger and concern about the detrimental effects of galamsey, particularly regarding public health and environmental degradation. She highlighted the alarming rise in birth defects and various health issues linked to illegal mining operations, emphasizing that these statistics represent real tragedies affecting families across Ghana.
