We're regressing back to the colonial days & these people come in and steal our resources because they have the equipments and the money to bribe our corrupt leaders. How did the Japanese manage to enter the country & excavate the earth with such heavy equipment and no officials being aware? Corruption in Ghana is beyond repair.

DID THE GOVERNMENT GAVE THEM PERMIT TO WORK ON THE SITE?
MR KPETIGO MAY HAVE TAKEN KICK BACKS FROM THE JAPANESE.THOSE ROCKS MAY BE VALUABLE JADES.HOW WERE THE ROCKS SHIPPED OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
OUR NATION IS SO WEAK THAT ANY NATION WILL THROW THEIR GABBAGE ON US.
THERE IS NO WAY OUR NATIONALS CAN SNEAK INTO JAPAN ,DIG FOR SOME ROCKS AND THEN SLIP OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
EMPLOYING THE YOUTH AND PAYING THEM MEAGER PAY IS NOT WORTH IT.
LETS LET OUR ROCKS REMAIN ON OUR LAND.
WE CAN ALSO USE IT TOO.

That is Ghana for you. From China to Japan. Very soon the Afgans will be there to establish Coca plantations to give employment to the youth. Ghana has become a disgraced state.

Limestone and other commodities are mined. The Minerlas Commision is incompetent .We don;t promote industrial minerals mioning in Ghana. In other countries apart from the main minerals they mine granite, limestone and others in a proper way. This will help employment and the economy in general. Just focussing on the big name commodities and forgetting about all these deposits.Read G.O. Kesse Geology of Ghana and you will see we have all these deposits but nothing is done about it by all successive governments and we complain of unemployment.

So it appears, our authorities supposedly are not aware of the presence of the Japanese. I find it so hard to believe.

Limestone is a mineral that has many, many uses. The Japanese, like many others continue to outsmart us. By the time Ghanaians wake up from their sleep, all your resources would be completely gone.

The Geological Survey Director in the Volta Region should be sanctioned immediately. If the statement attributed to him in the article is true then Ghana is in serious trouble given the kinds of Martin Kpetigo in director positions. The Volta regional Minister should take immediate action on this matter to protect the environment, life and property.

How dare you call the Japanese rats? Their son, Dr. Noguchi selflessly came to Ghana to do research and died in the course of his research activity. I can attest to the fact that the Japanese don't do business that way. I will not be surprised if the Chinese are masquerading as such (this is a huge speculation on my part).

Please lets stop this nonsense of insulting people. It does not help anyone. We need to hold our leaders accountable. japan will not go Ghana and mine limestone and send it back to Tokyo - limestone is not like gold or rare earth metals where they will export that to Japan.

Where is Justice Kpegla, he should go and use his legal brains to save his region from the Japanese rather than checking the list of the Ghana Bar Association. After all there is no investor in the Volta Region so allow them to dig everything including the small gods in the region.

Hey check their passports, they are not Japanese, they are Chinese. Those criminals whom our corrupt politricians have sold Ghana to them for 3billion dollars will destroy the country.
