Dr. Owusu’s crusade against galamsey has been marked by relentless attacks, frustration, and insults from those who sought to maintain the status quo of pollution and devastation. However, his perseverance was driven by his commitment to minimize environmental pollution and degradation, whereby creating jobs as well as generating wealth for Ghana’s youth.
Dr. Owusu criticized President Akufo Addo’s administration for its failure to effectively address the galamsey issue, citing greed, corruption, and politicization as major obstacles.

With his vindication, Dr. Owusu has renewed his call to action, urging all citizens to join him in the fight against galamsey. He disclosed that he would continue to remain steadfast in his commitment to saving Ghana from environmental disaster and building a brighter future for generations to come.
