Sharing her thoughts on the best way to using Christianity to foster development in Ghana especially foe the elimination of illegal small scale mining, the chief justice posits that Christians “the Lord expects each one of us, without a single exception to manage all that he has entrusted into our hands responsibly and dutifully help to protect and defend our natural resources against waste and degradation”.
