Efia Odo has drawn attention for her staunch opposition to galamsey, the illegal mining practice that poses significant threats to Ghanaian communities.
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.
“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,” she stated.
Odo also reaffirmed her commitment to addressing such critical 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, underscoring the need for a unified approach to tackle national problems without the constraints of party politics.
