Galamsey will destroy Ghana. For the Love of money, my people perish. You dare not swim in any of our streams, you will swallow mercury. Why galamsey is not a hot election issue, I will never know.

Ghana is a failed state. Close to 80% of the citizens aren't smart. You can see the evidence that we don't even love our country, so we allow all the crazy things happening.

We try to blame "something, somebody" forgetting that we are rather to be blamed.

This so-called "trans-national organized crime galamsey" activities has its genesis somewhere within our political arena but who dares speak about it.

Give a one month moratorium. After that, shot to kill any one involved. Thier family members should go to hell. That's all. This problem will be solved in 3months max.

If this galamsey was been done in a country like China,they would be arrested without a trial and never seen again.....China would take this issue very seriously, because it's robbing the state of billions of dollars in revenue.......Just think about the Chinese, in Ghana , on how much they are taking out of the ground each year,and all they need is permit to do the mining.
If Ghana had a Government that was worth their salt, and run the Country as it should be, just think how much money they would get if they had a state owned gold mine .....you would never have to go the IMF OR WORLD BANK FOR A HAND OUT.....
I JUST THINK THEY ARE SO BLOODY LAZY,THEY DONT WANNA DO THE WORK.This behaviour, from a country that's about to fall off a Cliff , should be proactive ,and get down and dirty,and set an example, t o it's people they are serious about what they do... NOW ITS JUST RECYCLING, THE SAME OLD RHETORIC.......NEITHER PARTY, HAS PRODUCED THE WOW FACTOR.IN THEIR POLICY SPEECHES.. SAME OLD BORING STUFF,THATS NOT EVEN FUNDED.

I don't understand why some Ghanaians see the military as something full of "Angels". Where is the mem/women in the military recruited from?

When the president made that statement, what did Mahama tell Ghanaians, and what party won in the galamsey areas? My friend despite our political differences, we should tell the truth. You were able to come out with what the president said, and why didn't you say what Mahama said at the same time?

Also, when Kufuor was president, did we see Chinese migrants in Ghana doing galamsey? So, ask yourself how the Chinese came to Ghana and got involved in the galamsey activities.

@Pellicles, the fact that Ghanaians ditched NDC and voted for NPP to correct the wrongs that NPP told us about is something your partisan brain can never,ever process. Akufo Addo, was elected into office to sort out the rot he claimed NDC had left yet you keep harping on the same crap when he turned out to be useless. Common sense tells you that destroying River Tano is not in the interest of Ghanaians as a whole,and it is the responsibility of the ruling govt to sort that out. Only a brain fart will still blame Mahama, after being out of office for almost eight years. To cap it all, Akufo Addo promised to nip that galamsey problem in the bud.To even bring Mahama, into the equation sums you up as a confirmed and baptised twat! and i make no apology for that.Use your brain, if you have one.
