Akuapem North lawmaker Sammi Awuku is sounding an alarm about several serious issues facing the country. He warns that Ghana must not become used to problems like illegal mining, drug trafficking, and rising living costs.
Awuku stated that it is important for authorities to act quickly. He believes that if these problems continue without strong action, people might start to accept them as normal.
The lawmaker made these remarks in a social media post on Friday. He highlighted the urgency needed to address these challenges.
Illegal mining, often called galamsey, continues to damage the environment and affect communities. Drug trafficking poses a significant threat to public safety and national security.
The rising cost of living is also a major concern for many Ghanaians. These issues combined create a difficult situation for the country.
Awuku stressed that a sense of urgency is required from all leaders. He believes that proactive measures are necessary to prevent these problems from becoming permanent fixtures.
