This is crazy! why were you appointed Minister, to worry? to express concern? Please the people are desperate for action not words. No sane country will tolerate what is going on in Ghana.

If you don't know what to do to clean this sick habit. Then you don't deserve to be minister. I'm sorry......

Are mining licenses going to stop environmental degradation and contamination of ground water and water bodies in the area

A BIG NO.

THE MINISTER OBVIOUSLY WANTS HIS SHARE OF THE MINING LICENSE FEES, HENCE THIS DUMMY COMMENT. ALL THE MINISTER THINKS ABOUT IS HIS SHORT-TERM BENEFITS RATHER THAN THE LONG TERM ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MINING, LICENSED OR UNLICENSED.

ANOTHER KWASIA GHANA LEADER!

MY TAKE:

Are mining licenses going to stop THE LONG-TERM environmental degradation and contamination of ground water and water bodies in the area???

A BIG NO.

Nii Mills is just faking, barking like a toothless bulldog. He is aware that these mining operators are destroying our country's natural resources at an alarming rate but he is weak, incompetent and ignorant as to how to stop galamsey. He is useless in his position as Minister for many years now without any positive results to his credit. Just sack this fake guy who is one of the talkatives. If we don't stop galamsey Ghana will be ruined for hundreds of years without basic resources, Our water resources farmlands, forests and minerals are being plundered while we stand aside and look. This Govt has allowed these Chinese and their Ghanaian frontmen to destroy our country.

The sooner we put a stop to this mess the better a country side we would have. The chinese are ruthless so we should not have any mercy on them. They are criminals. We should not allow our ladies to marry any of them as well. Starve them of sex and everything and then they will soon be seen parking.

WHY DON'T WE CHANGE THE LAW TO BE ABLE TO REVOKE ANY LICENCE THAT ALLOWS THE COMPANY TO POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT. PLEASE AMEND THE LAW AND DON'T LET THEM HIDE UNDER LEGALITIES TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY. YOU CAN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR ANY LAND IN CHINA AS A GHANAIAN OVER THERE, LET ALONE TO DESTROY IT. IF IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE EXECUTED. BUT IN GHANA ANYTHING GOES BECAUSE WE WORSHIP MONEY.

Why is it, that it has almost becoming a common feature, on the part of Ghanaian Public Officials, to always be merely expressing worries/ concerns over known problems and challenges they are hired and being paid with the Tax payers money to find solutions to or address. It's about time this culture of ineptitude and inaction on the part of Public Officials is held in check!

A mininster entrusted with safeguarding the resources of state is expressing hopelessness in his inability to do his job.

Why does he not resign for a more competent individual to come and the job.

Why does he think he is being paid? If it was not the fact that the Mahama administration is happy with the people of this sort, he would have been sacked immediately after he made this announcement that he is being paid for nothing.

It is no surprise that with ministers like these the country is going downhill. He has identified the culprits - Chinese as he says and yet he does nothing. Lord give us strength.

Ghana has been sold for $3billion to the Chinese by your government what do you expect? Why worry now, Ghana has so called educated people who are idiots,we go to school to make a differences in society but in Ghana case we go to school enrich ourselves. What Country in real sense will hand over its birthright to foreigners ? Let's go to Denkyera, Dunkwa on Offin and witness ourselves what this creepy Chinese are doing to our brothers and sisters there, they voiceless and those who are suppose to be their voice are the culprits themselves .

Mr Minister please don't express worried over the rate illegal miner are destroying our environment by polluting our drinking water bodies and destroying our forest and farm lands because president Mahama said the illegal miners from China are doing business for a living and it is their perogative right to destroy our forest and eco system and they bear no consequances of their action and poison Ghanaians killing them slowly.And according to Ofosu Kwakye there are wise me in NDC and such statement coming from the president and he is one of the wise men in NDC.
