Okatakyei Afrifa is dumb because he will still tell people to vote for Bawumia. Hypocrites. Wontumi should be in prison.

I personally petitioned Dampare about a South African girl who was sextorting our guys, got deported and is now back doing the same thing. But nothing happened. I was rather the victim. The police took sides. That's how bad our security services have gotten to... useless

GPS, if you enter into a pact with the devil, do you have to honor it or not? Why this, NDC and I am not trying to inject politics into this, but the fact must be told.

NDC government under Mills and Mahama entered into an agreement with the Chinese government for a loan of $3billion which includes the admitting of Chinese migrants into Ghana. The Mills/Mahama government accepted the deal, and the result is what we see today. Ask your MP about this and listen to what he/she will tell you.

How long have we been doing galamsey and all of a sudden this. Our rivers were not that polluted under Kufuor so, why did that change when Mills/Mahama came onto office?

I will not stop saying that Ghana is what it is due to our mindset and attitude. How did the Chinese enter the forest? Who led them into the forest? These are simple questions we should ask and answer.

A Ghanaian cannot go to China and expect a Chinese national lead him/her into any forest in China but a Ghanaian who only thinks about food, will act silly like that then blame all than his/her pathetic self.

All of us can say a big NO to illegal mining and nobody can do anything to us but.

Is a good step in right direction but to whether they will achieve their mission Is another matter,ncs this government doesn't care about Is going on,Galamisay bcs the president and vice president and most of the executive benefit this illegal mining.
The purpose is fund the party campaign and make themselves rich at the expense of poor people in 5his area of mining
Npp government is more than vampires bcs care about health of the people in this areas
Why will someone think that npp is the option for this country with kind of mismanagement that they president over it.
I hope Ghanaians will think twice before they vote this time around bce is obvious they fail Ghanaians big time.

The Nimiri Tano Forest Reserve is in the Asankrangwa Stool lands. As a result of chieftancy dispute, the Wassa Amenfi Omanhene, Tetrete Okuamoa Sekyim, appointed a Caretaker to oversee the Asankrangwa Stool lands. The Caretaker reports directly to the Wassa Amenfi Omanhene. Akonta Mining Company used to dig for gold in the Nimiri Tano Forest Reserve. Now Chinese nationals are also scrambling for gold in the same forest reserve. To stop the destruction of the timber trees that feed the Samatex Timber Company at Samreboi and also stop the land degradation and stop the pollution of the waters of River Tano, the citizens of Asankrangwa traditional area should smoke the peace pipe and help choose a substantive Traditional Chief for their Traditional Stool. Otherwise Asankrangwa shall continue to slip into devastation.

Galamsey allover.
Yesterday I wrote about the mining of gravel by the Chief of Morborle, near Afienya in the Ningo/Prampram District of the Greater Accra Region and his children on the land they sold to Falcon and Noble company, which the later also sold to some individuals. Gravel on some parts of the land have been dug down to twelve feet.
So those who started constructing houses on the land need to buy earth to fill the twelve feet gullies before they can access their property.
The state and individual who buy gravel from Panaku (Rivercow), don't think that those who bought plots there are human beings, who need to be respected, together with their properties.
