Well said Prof,
It i s is true that our own people go as far as collecting monies from these expatriates and promise tham concessions leading to all this 'nonsense', and it is time pragmatic rather than lip-service steps are taken to rigidly implement the laws before it is too late!
Congrats Prof, i did listen in to the interview by the"Vim Lady" Afia Pokua.

Do you understand the word expatriate?
Go back to the dictionary to find how the word came.

GALAMSAY IN GH
:foolish ghanas, have you forgot who is feed you"? THIS IS WAT A CHINESEMAN POSTED ON GHWEB RESPONSE TO GALAMSAY ISSUES IN GH.
HE CLAIMMED THAT THE BILLIONS IN LOANS CHINA GAVE GH NECCESITATED GALAMSAY AS PART OF THE DEAL. WELL, I DIGRESS.
"Necessity is the mother of invention."
-Plato
While the Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894 created one impetus to find another form of transportation, over a century later we find ourselves in a similar situation with the car.
Runoff from oil and exhaust contribute to 13 percent of all river contamination and some scientists predict that with current oil production levels, the finite resource that fuels
our cars could be depleted by 2055.
These are chemical companies that make the lithium carbonate. (the producers of lithium)
Its lithium-brine reserves. lithium carbonate equivalen (LCE) production. The real drivers of growth are lithium-ion batteries.
FOLKS,JUST GOOGLE THIS: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894. THEN U WILL KNOW WHY THE CHINESE ARE IN GH DOING GALAMSAY. BYE BYE TO OIL BY 2055.
electric vehicles are an option, but lithium-ion batteries also serve other technologies, such as hybrid-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles.
Pure electric vehicle batteries can be plugged into a home's electricity for charging; batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles can also be used while the engine is running.
So it is not just an external source of electricity. We have also to consider that automakers are researching other technologies as well, and they have made important progress
on the efficiency of internal combustion engines, for example. I believe that in the future we will see a mix of different technologies coexisting.
Yes, you have to generate the electricity, but if you consider the impact of CO2 emissions, you will conclude that electric vehicles are the best option compared with other current-available technologies.
GH IMPORTS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING FROM CHINA. EVERYTHING FROM RICE, CHICKEN, UNDEWEAR TO EVEN TOOTHPICKS IS IMPORTED FROM CHINA...
ASK MAHAMA WHERE THE BILLIONS IN CHINA LOANS CAME FROM? THESE ARE THE MONIES IN OUR BANKS
IN EXCHANGE, CHINA HAS TO MINE FOR RESOURCES, DEVELOPE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE....
DO U THINK THIS IS A GOOD TRADE OFF? I DONT THINK IT IS. BLAME THOSE IN POSITIONS OF POWER WHO WENT FOR THE EASY BUCK
INSTEAD OF SACRIFICING FOR THE FUTURE.
SEIZE ALL THEIR MACHINERY N SELL THEM. USE THE MONEY TO EMPOWER, REWARD THE POLICE OFFICERS. JAIL THESE CHINESE, NO BAIL.
THEY HVE TO SERVE THEIR SENTENCE, THEN DEPORT THEM. THE GHFUO WHO WORKED WIKTH THEM MUST BE JAILED 10YRS EACH.
GALAMSAY MUST END IN GH. DESTROYING OUR LANDS. LEADING TO FLOODS. DEATH N DESTRUCTION
stretches of real estate in the world, endowed with an abundance of vast mineral deposits, such as coltan and cobalt, which are key to the
functioning of modern-day capitalist society, from laptops to cell phones to cameras and jet engines.
Coltan is just one of several expensive and rare minerals abundant in Africa, but coltan is NOT ONLY available in the congo alone,
which makes it extremely valuable.
local residents mostly young children are explloited n forced to dig tiny amounts of these “conflict minerals” from the soil in inhuman conditions,
often with their bare hands.
When you hear about such extreme exploitation, you can be pretty sure that some folks are making a hell of a lot of money.
In this case, it’s western corporations like Nokia, Motorola, Compaq, Dell, IBM, Sony and many more who rely on extremely cheap capacitors
from their electronics companies, to make them profits from our Christmas presents. These companies have thus far avoided scrutiny by
outsourcing the more direct business of extracting the minerals to smaller chinese companies. THEREFORE, GH GOVT MUST CUT OUT THE CHINESE MIDDLEMEN
N USE LOCAL MANPOWER. JOBS. GIVE THE GALAMSAY JOBS TO GHFUOR!
The operators, with many foreign nationals involved, are not only destroying the environment with their activities, but are also denying the
country of the revenues that accrue to the state from the legal activities of mining companies that pay taxes to the government.
the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
IN ARGENTINA, representatives of 33 indigenous communities living in the Northern Argentinian provinces of Jujuy and Salta turned to the Supreme Court to claim their right
to be consulted for exploration and development of lithium projects. This move comes following last year's declaration by the governor of Jujuy Province that lithium is a
strategic mineral under Decreto 7592/11, asserting that all present and future lithium projects must be studied by a special expert commission before being approved by local
and national authorities. CUT OUT THE CHINESE MIDDLEMEN.

There must be immediate suspension of all small scale mining activities until further advice. The President does not seem to have grips of the exact undergoing destruction of the land. Every hour delayed amounts to one month of land destruction. This small scale mining is a national security threat. Because very soon Ghana shall experience great food shortages and the population shall massively struggle to feed itself. When such a situation happens national security is undeniably threatened. SO MR. PRESIDENT DON'T BE AFRAID TO ISSUE IMMEDIATE ORDER TO STOP SUCH MINING EXERCISE BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE. IT'S LATE BUT NOT TOO LATE.

apart from galamsey destroying the environment and water bodies, its also a national security issue. So where is the interior ministry and BNI on this. if anyone can come to Ghana and engage in mining operations to the tune of what some of these foreigners are doing what prevents a terrorist cell or militant groups from infiltrating the nation to look for ways to destabilize, its a very precarious world we live in right now, our security cannot and should not be lapse. Ghana is so full of incompetents in government it makes me angry every time. The national security apparatus, if there even is one should have been in on this a long time, with detailed info as to who is doing what, where they are coming from, where they are operating all the galamseys, where they get the weapons from, what local chiefs and persons are involved in helping them etc. etc.

The Chinese must be stopeed or else we will. The destruction of farm lands at a dizzying pace is rather sad. Also the diversion of streams and pollution of rivers thorugh the use of heavy industrail earth moving machines is also very sad. NOt only are the fish being killed, but the rivers that have been a source of survival and livlihood in these villages for farmers and families are being destroyed by these foreigners with the collaboration of local elders and chiefs as well as corrupt government officials. This has to stop. Not only are the Chinese guilty, but others like Indians and Pakistanis who are a bit sophiscated and organized are equally as guilty and must be targeted. Our gold is being sold and traded in Dubai by these greedy bastards. And Ghana is not getting a pessewa from taxes or royalties. As a result, we are losing our forests and streams at a rapid rate. This is no laughing matter nor time to blame any government as both the NPP and NDC, PNDC, AFRC and even Nkrumahs CPP are all to blame. They have allowed us to get to this point where these foreign bastards with guns have taken over, rule and destroy our forests and environment. WE MUST ACT. Mahama has made a gesture. What about Akuffo Addo and the Asantehene and the radio stations. Let us start discussing the menacing effects of galamsey on our livlihood, health and economy. This demands action!
