This is a serious indictment of the Akufo Addo's government. Because the ambassador gave 2 authentic reasons, lack of political commitment and inadequate allocation of resources.
1. Which government is lacking the political commitment?
2. Which government must be commenting or allocating adequate budgetary resources?

I don't expect answers from any FoolSoldier.

How can the perpetrators fight against their own acts? So far as politicians themselves engage directly or indirectly in illegal mining, they will never enforce the laws against illegal mining. They will never prosecute themselves or their cronies. Akufo Addo only knows how to talk. He's Dr do little. He might go down as Ghana's worse president.

The Galamsey sites are for NPP members. They secure the Chinese to do the operation. The hapless Ghanaian youths poisoning themselves with chemicals are the immediate victims alongside the community and the environment.

Lack of enforcement capacity is certainly one of the most important factors in the lack of success in the fight against galamsey. Inadequate logistical capacity and corruption derail enforcement capacity. Therein lies the hydra-headed nature of the fight against galamsey.

Mr ambassador, thanks for hitting the nail on the head. What you don't know is that our so called president, first of all, is a usurper. He stole his way to power. He is so so daft that, he plagiarized a speech on his contentious inauguration as a usurping president. In fact according to Wikipedia, he is a weed smoker. He drools even when awake. He went to university of ghana and even when there is no proof that he completed his course in raw economics, he is considered by Wikipedia as having attained a disgraceful 3rd class. He went into hibernation and came back with the claim that he'd become a lawyer. He has no certificate to prove. Some people think he worked as a bailiff in France, observed the day to day operations of lawyers, came back to Ghana, cornered some useless chief justice because of his father's standing as ex president, and got sworn in as a lawyer. He is so so dumb. He is a stupid tribalist, fueled by inferiority complex, and disrespect even chiefs. Do you think such a vagabond can stop illegal mining? I don't think so.

Nana Akufo-Addo's administration has done well for Ghana. However, for galamsey, they will have a failing grade. Many people are indirectly benefiting from the galamsey. If Ghana does not put a stop to galamsey, Ghana will face a destruction force shortly by those that are doing the galamsey. I see a lack of political will to fight galamsey.

Africa don't have good leaders period. Who is IN charge to fight against galamsey? No leader in the country. The top officials are the one doing the galamsey.

. Ghana police, CID, judges know who are doing the galamsey but they don't care. IGP knows them but he doesn't care. Corruption has turned Ghana into animal farm. Ghana police know all these criminals but they don't care unlike Europe, and North America institutions work well. Africans can't rule themselves period. Where is the minister of interior, CID boss, IGP. Institutions are not working. Nothing is working in Ghana and Africa. WATER IS LIFE. Galamsey has destroyed all our rivers, killed all fishes. No water is safe to drink. Wise up Black Africans
