11-Year-Old Ghanaian Boy Writes Emotional Letter To President Akufo-Addo About Galamsey

An 11-year-old Ghanaian boy called Kelvin Nhyira Ansong who identifies himself as being in primary 5 has written a touching letter to Ghana's president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The young boy started off by mentioning that he was not happy although he hoped that the president himself was in a happy mood.

According to the primary 5 pupil, the galamsey activities that have still been ongoing under the watch of the president are badly affecting lives and needs urgent redress.

"All the rivers have turned like This Way chocolate drink or groundnut soup. But our Sir told us that water is colourless. So please I want you to please send your soldiers and police to catch those who are spoiling the water so that the water will be colourless again and we can get some to drink," Kelvin wrote in the letter shared on JoyNews' verified handle.
