The Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak has called on Ghanaians to use this season of Christmas to ponder on ways to use in saving the environment from destruction.
According to him, persons responsible for protecting the environment are rather involved in the destruction.
In a brief statement, the Builsa South lawmaker expressed worry over a documentary he watched that exposes the rot being perpetuated in the destruction of the environment.
“The irreparable damage, fueled by greed and official complicity, is most depressing. The destruction of our forests and the pollution of our rivers threatens our very existence. Our survival is at stake
“Since those paid to protect our rivers and forests are pretending to be incapable, we the people must act. Take some time this festive season to ponder over what you can do or think we can do to stop this worrying situation,” Dr. Apaak stated.
Below is the full statement from the lawmaker
I watched Erastus Asare Donkor’s documentary on illegal mining titled “Destruction for Gold” on Joynews this afternoon.
The irreparable damage, fueled by greed and official complicity, is most depressing. The destruction of our forests and the pollution of our rivers threatens our very existence. Our survival is at stake
Since those paid to protect our rivers and forests are pretending to be incapable, we the people must act. Take some time this festive season to ponder over what you can do or think we can do to stop this worrying situation.
In Solidarity,
Dr. Clement Apaak
