Because this military officer is related to ex-prez Mahama, the NDC communicators are just over-hyping issues surrounding this slain galamsey soldier. Generally, Ghanaians are hypocrites that is why Ghana is backward in the midst of plenty. Look at how nursing mothers have been detained with their babies in connection with this unfortunate murder and it appears human rights lawyers in Ghana have all gone to sleep.I am not the least surprised because if the Minister of Children and Gender Affairs has gone to weep profusely at the funeral of Late Maj Mahama because the deceased is a relative, do you think she will see the need to protect these kids who are being punished for crimes they have not committed.

NDC lost the elections because most Akans and patriotic citizens realized this party does not appreciate or reflect the true interests of the people but rather its a mafia criminal organization that will cause the eventual bloodshed among our people. After the death /murder of Mills NDC lost all its appeal and there was no hope it would ever get back on the right track to serve the interests of the people.NDC is a disappointment and will end up on the landfill of rubbish organizations . NPP from the looks of things will most likely also be joining them soon and in their place the AKAN freedom movement will rise. Anytime an Akan actually does something good or worthy for the nation some pepeni , ayigbe , Muslim or some other minority comes and destroys everything dead, that is the fact. 58% of our bauxite was handed over as a step to colonize the wealth of the Akan , were in the world would a minority be given such privileges if it was not to undermine the majority. All natural resources should be nationalized including gold , then properly developed as sustainable businesses then privatized through a coupon system so all citizens become direct owners . We are definitely a nation of idiotic fools , i have for a while decided to hold my peace because it seemed we have a sensible finance minister making the right moves but this toxic pepeni kwasiapanyin Bawumia has erased all good. Atta Mills went to bed with this Satan and it cost him his life together with 200,000 hardened criminals they sent here that have poisoned our water bodies and long term devastated our economy. China has ignored over a billion of their citizens in dire need of the entering into the post industrial era and come here and promise WHAT? I said that this Bawumia is the reincarnation of the devil and evil that air brained Nana has put in his office. He continues with his project of the islamisation of Ghana with the establishment of an Islamic university to breed toxic propagators of evil in our land. He blocks all Akan diaspora private capital in the tens of billions because its from primarily Christian countries. Where in the world has China given capital , technology and industry for another country to develop? The only reason why this is on the table is to make Ghana a suspicious ally at best to our western civilizations and other christian countries . We saw an influx of Islamic money which we don't need yet everyone played dumb because the political oligarchy is playing ball with the Muslim caliphate and soon our stubborn Christians will start seeing their children's throats being turned toward Mecca like goats and slashed . My brothers arm yourselves like our friends in Denkyira but wait for the clarion call to wipe out this cancer amongst us. Enough is enough

Ghana army is our worst enemy, 7 military coup, in each of the coups many atrocities were committed against the nation(looting of state properties, stealing of gov. money, abuses including beatings and murders, rape of young girls etc.)
The gov is afraid of the military so it is difficult to free Ghana from the military which is of no use to our development.
West African countries must work closer together to reduce the size of their armies but rather improve the quality of the police force.

They had come down with all the state instruments to cry crocodile tears for him and the family simply because they knew they had sacrificed him for nothing and scared off all journalists who had wanted to ask them the "HARD" question of why the local authorities in the region did not know him and his group's presence. They'd made it clear that any question to that regards is in the support of the "killers".

And these corrupt officials had almost changed the name Ghana to the "Republic oF Mahama"

Can the soldiers be arrested? Is Ghana a civilized country? Should it not be the responsibility of the police to enforce law and order in the country? Why are the soldiers constantly intervening and making the work of the police very difficult? Is every situation volatile and very dangerous such that the military should be called upon? When is the military needed in a domestic unrest? Isn't the protection against external aggression the primary duty of the military?

GAF is neck deep in the insecurity of our nation, meanwhile, they'd tell you they'd sworn an oath to defend the integrity and the security of Ghana. But to these GAF personnel, the compromising of Ghana's integrity and its insecurity had slipped up on them without them knowing it and had engulfed them, and therefore making them lose the "war" before it had started. How sad for Kwame Nkrumah's beautiful and disciplined armed force that had won the independence for the Belgium Congo?

The nation is turning into a banana republic and no one is talking about it. The military is now protecting the Chinese to destroy our environment and also do galamsey. Come to the Amansie district and see, the Chinese have come back again but the Ghanaians are been prevented from doing so.

What is this country doing/ A foreigner comes to do mining and hires the military for protection. The military commits to this contract and is ready to shot at citizens in order to protect the foreigners. Are we that unthinking? is anybody looking. Is anyone listening? When Mahama was lynched every one was up in arms and grief.The extent of the horror matched the incredulity of the narrative and why he happened to be there. Are the soldiers are ready for the calling true to the spirit of their contractual terms to protect miners?

We should not allow lawlessness from vigilantes groups in our communities. The soldiers acted to restore law and order.
You can just demand ransom money from bridge users because the community built the bridge. Proper systems must be approved by the district assembly for some form of toll collection. You cannot go about harassing these miners. And the media has obviously twisted this story to vilify the soldiers.

Please ask yourself why a Chinese should be mining your lands in the first place?

Go to China and find out what Africans go through. Or anywhere else in Europe.

Our so-called leaders have failed our rural communities and enriching themselves in collusion with the Chinese and European mining companies.

Are the citizens supposed to wait on campaign promises or what? Whilst others are enriching themselves? Please think deeper than that and stop spewing garbage on this platform.

If we do not tackle these issues comprehensively in favour of our rural folks, I can assure you that what will happen in future will be detrimental to the nation on the whole.

It is about time the Government looked into this Galamsey business because it is causing a lot of serious problems in the country and as a result a lot of innocent people are either being killed or hurt every day. How can't the government stop this Galamsey business? Is it a difficult thing for the Government to do? This is generating into an all out three-way war between the soldiers, the citizens of Ghana and illegal Chinese Miners. It seems the law does not work in this country because a whole bunch of people at the helm are corrupt and these commotion started from the NDC reign.

If this is true then my question is, is Ghana going nuts.Why will the chiefs even let them mine when they are not even contributing to the maintenance of the bridge.

They are trained soldiers. Send them to help fight Boko Haram than fighting their own family at home. Look at example of Rawlings & Boakye Odwan, having nothing doing after all their training they turned on own people.

Lawlessness reigns supreme in Ghana today because of corrupt Politicians, corrupt Government Ministers, Police, the courts and their corrupt judges, Ghana has broken.

Ghana our Dear motherland will soon be colonized by Chinese.

Ghanaians will very soon be seeing CHINESE SOLDIERS in Battalions and Divisions under the pretext of protecting their nationals in Ghana.

Give and take in about 20 years time Ghana will be like APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA and RHODESIA now called ZIMBABWE.

Our so called leaders are without vision, they don't think beyond protecting their looted properties and Cash, they are on the payroll of these Chines and they don't give a f**k our MOTHERLAND

Wake up and FIGHT for your Land which the CHINESE are destroying.

GHANA IS FOR GHANAIANS, FROM THE GREAT CONTINENT OF AFRICA, AND SHOULD FOREVER REMAIN SO, AND IT WILL!!!!!!
