Archbishop Duncan-Williams has drawn criticism for his remarks on Ghana's galamsey crisis, which some argue downplay the need for direct action. The controversy emerged after he emphasized prayer as a response to the illegal mining issue. A video of his comments has circulated online, sparking public debate. Critics argue that his approach lacks urgency in addressing the environmental and economic damage caused by galamsey. The issue remains a major challenge for Ghana's government, with ongoing efforts to regulate the activity. Local communities and activists continue to push for stricter enforcement and alternative solutions.
