  Is it not too late now for the very incompetent NDC government administrators to start complaining about the destruction of our previously evergreen environment?. The insatiable Chinese and Indian criminal illegal miners have been given the freedom to mine in some remote places where the continuous use of dangerous chemicals have affected not only the polluted nearby lands but water bodies as well. The ineffective NDC government appointed administrators take bribes from these notorious Chinese and Indian criminal miners, sit and watch, take no notice as the criminals proudly refused to stop their illegal activities. Now, I suppose it may even be too late for some of the already damaged lands and riverbeds to be restored to their former useful state. Why can't this incompetent NDC government do something useful for the state of Ghana - just one useful deed would do for most of us relying on the government to perform.

  GOLD IS NOT ALL THAT MATTERS IN LIFE. WHY DO WE STILL HAVE A COMMISSION ON MINING AND HEAR ALL THE TIME OF ILLEGAL MINING. WHERE ARE OUR SECURITY IN GHANA. IF WE ALLOW POISONOUS MATERIALS INTO OUR DRINKING WATER BODIES, WE ARE INADVERTENTLY KILLING PEOPLE. IF THE COMMISSION IS NOT UP TO SNUFF, REMOVE THEM AS THEY ARE OF NO USE TO THE NATION.

  What a lawless country. Water bodies are being destroyed and all you do is warn about it. This has been happening for years. Can someone ACT? What a country we have. Even Chinese come armed to pollute our rivers.
