The Manso Adubia constituency in the Ashanti Region has seen the illegal mining activities over the past few years leave the area in the alarming position of having no natural water body fit for human use.<\/p>\n
The Member of Parliament for Manso Adubia, Yaw Frimpong Addo, had ominous words for the rest of the country as he warned that \u201cno water body will survive this threat\u201d of illegal mining if it is not tackled.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News\u2019<\/strong> Richard Sky, Mr. Addo recounted growing up in the constituency and being able to drink from the streams in the area which have now been polluted by illegal mining activities.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the streams that flow into the two major rivers in the constituency; the Offin River and the Oda River, are gold bearing streams and because of that, their valleys are also full of gold,\u201d the MP explained.<\/p>\n
