The Fourth Estate, spearheaded by investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, is set to release an expose uncovering government appointees involved in illegal mining.
Although the release date has not been officially announced, the exposé has already generated buzz among Ghanaians.
Reports indicate the exposé will unveil government appointees deeply involved in illegal mining activities.
The issue of illegal mining has gained renewed attention following a warning from the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) about the potential shutdown of its production plants in the Ashanti Region.
The GWCL has cited illegal mining in various water bodies as the cause of contamination, which is affecting the availability of clean drinking water.
Illegal mining has severely impacted communities, making access to clean water a significant challenge.
The crisis has led to widespread public campaigns against the practice.
The anticipated expose by Manasseh Azure Awuni is highly awaited by Ghanaians, who are eager to see how it will address the escalating threat posed by illegal mining.

Each yr, the Akufo-Addo gov't spends money on what it calls greening Ghana. But the same gov't has been busily giving out forest reserves to party cronies to destroy through mining. Who're the party cronies ravaging our forests? Watch out. pic.twitter.com/Kgk9e4JBBW
