Why not condemn your greedy chiefs who sold the land to the galamsay operators? Very soon, your source of drinking water will disappear as your rivers are being destroyed.

Well said brother.. this is nuisance on the part of these thugs. By the way whom do these thugs sell the illegal gold to? The dam will burst forth and submerge all of them.

The threat was there before the Dam was built. Send the forces in and weed the problem out. Ghana's national interest must not be allowed to be subjected to individual interests.

Which power did the Dam supplant?

Adventurers land from Planet Mars at the same time? Listening to the DCE and the Regional Police Commander makes my heart ache!
It was only a couple of weeks ago that the Water, Works & Housing Minister toured some of these areas and issued what was obviously an empty threat to these illegal mining operators. And the sad fact is that this minister,who hails from the region, has held the Lands & Mineral Resources portfolio before,and must have been aware of the presence of these miscreants,some of whom are foreigners,and ought not to be in this country at all! It seems the govt is content to sit around and look on passively till disaster hits before taking any decisive action;why?
What prevents the state from exercising its right of eminent domain to declare a large tract of exclusionary zone to sageguard this vital national asset?
This is simply amazing and mindboggling to say the least!
I do not believe any help from outsiders to be able to deal with this looming danger,do we?

Mr DCE you have to act and deal decisively with the nation wreckers now than to wait for directives from Accra which never comes if you think that will be in Ghana's interest. Ghana cannot allow a few unscrupulous persons with their illegal activities let $622m go into the drain NO WAY

Is there any government in Ghana? This is a simple thing that Government can do within seconds. Miners are important than the rest of the citizens? Tweaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Mr. Commissioner who else do you expect to solve this thorny issue but you?
If you still don't understand, It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you to pull your men and women from the highways and trunk roads from harassing drivers. Mobilize your people and curb this crime. This is a matter of national concern - far more crucial than putting men and women on the roads to collect two and five cedis from drivers. ALL THE BEST!
