CWN Editor's Note: Lamenting illegal mining, plastic waste, and the contamination of drinking water with mercury and arsenic, a bishop has called on Ghana’s political candidates to make environmental protection a priority.
“Campaigns have started,” said Bishop Joseph Kwaku Afrifah-Agyekum of Koforidua. “If I have the opportunity, I will quiz them on what their sustainable environmental policies are.”
