Very good statement. Otumfuor with just a wave of his left hand can end galamsey throughout the Ashanti region and beyond. Is the Dormaa hene using machine guns to avoid galamsey in his communities? How can our second capital disgrace the country in this fashion? He should be held responsible for what is happening over there!!

Shame , Dormaa stool lands is at par with greater Accra region. From Dormaa all the way to Bomaa, parts of Sunyani , Chiraa all the way to Basildon in Ivory Coast are Dormaa stool lands.

It takes wisdom and integrity to stop galamsey , which asantehene lacks.
When ann adult watches on for children to use his tools to destroy and commit treacherous acts, he’s equally culpable.

@ Kwaku Tee , every day power , power , you can’t compare Otumfuor powers to this person, it’s not about how big your territory is , is about having the brains to take tough decisions against those who engage in these acts . The kingdoms we see in order parts of the world don’t use words like my king is powerful they show actions . If my king will enjoy gold money and his servants are living poorly what’s the sense in this . The secret is that politicians have destroyed traditional authorities. Everyone fears his hometown chief more than these politicians

I'm shocked to our attitude of comparisons to all our problems as Ghanaian in general, may I assumed that Otumfuo has bigger territory to control and that should tell you that there are more resources, and he who more is given more is expected. On books Otumfuo is like the permanent head of state of Ghana unofficialy and he has practically access to all our institutions and all that he has to do is ask and his wish done, No presidents dare deny Otumfuo help in matters which are treat to national security in public. I think that he Otumfuo has not come to understand the love and respect Ghanaian have for him. It's the time for him turn the table against this so called politicians, why are they all going to Otumfuo anytime they have something diabolical to tell the nation they run Otumfuo to whitewash it for them, We are waiting for Otumfuo to take this hard first step he will be surprise about the love and respect he weird in Society, enough is enough with this politicians.

@kwaku tee, it seems you have a problem with understanding the English language, he didn’t say Otumfuor should go there . Do you think Otumfuor does not do investigations before taking those actions ?

All the power to do so have been given to one man and he has refused to do so.
The traditional chiefs are becoming more effective than the president. A change in the constitution has become necessary.

If the Asantehene can impose Asanteman as a galamsey-free zone, why then would the Asantehene not have the authority under the Ghana constitution to impose an Asanteman revenue collection for the development of the Asanteman, which would have nothing to do with the national taxes, Prof. Adei? Why should the development of mineral rich and human rich Asanteman be held hostage because of the lack of national development, Prof?

What kind of hypocrisy is this? You claim to be a "leadership expert" (despite a paper in a respectable leadership journal), why are not seeing this as a leadership failure? Why are you silent on the Commander in Chief? Why are you calling out the President even when declared that he was going to put his presidency on the line? If this was a different party, you would have been quick to call out people. You are just a bad hypocritical old man, not a good example. Respect comes when you have consistency of principles. I am equally an academic with political smoothies, but I should be able to be consistent. I should stay loyal to the truth and evidence. You are not like that, even at this advance age. You have lost respect.

We don't have capable leaders in Ghana to arrest these animals called galamseyers. They are destroying the nation our rivers, lands, and vegetations. Who is ruling Ghana? Do we have leaders in Ghana? Where are they? Who is to be blamed? The country has become like animal farm. Institutions in Ghana are not working period. Where is minister of interior, IGP, CID boss, Ghana police, judges, lawyers. Do Ghana CID responds if one reports a criminal? NO. 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 to animal farm. Ghana police know all the criminals but they don't care unlike Europe, and North America institutions work. Africans can't rule themselves period. Do we have thinkers in Ghana? Who are the thinkers? I want to know them. Institutions don't work in the country. Nothing is working in Ghana and Africa.

This Stephen Adei is the problem. You call yourself a professor of leadership but you cannot tell us the powers that the Otumfour has with regard to mining and mineral resources. For your information all mineral resources are vested in the president. Mining concessions are given by the president. In most cases a chief will be at home and some visitors come with letters granting them concessions to mine. Find out how John Mahama gave the bauxite at Nyanahim to his brother. Did the Otumfour know anything about it? No. Mr. Professor Do Little. I will advise you to do a research before speaking. The stupidity is growing. May be your brain has begun being depleted. Read wide and stop this stupid talk. Nonsense

When Wontumi was summoned to Manhyia recently, his lawyer, Maurice Ampaw, was on television asking us rhetorically if we knew the business relationship between his boss Wontumi and the Asantehene. Food for thought.

Why Ghana government doesn't want to stop galamsey? He can order the police and the military to shoot and kill all these animals doing galamsey in the country. These evil black cobras will destroy all our fresh waters, lands and vegetations. Our cocoa farms are going to be destroyed by these poisonous cobras galamseyers. The government does not care. Look at the color of our rivers. All fishes in the rivers are dead. Very soon will affect our cocoa which is our main export Ghana depends on. What is wrong with our leaders in Ghana? Wake up Mr. president. Use the police, and military to crush these animals.

He won't. They love gold much more than good drinking water, trees and land the good people of the region.
They are secretly cashing on. They love what is going on. Money and tribalism are important to them than societal development.
It's the chiefs and the criminal evil politicians who have clandestily encouraged galamsey.
Whoever can ask Ashanti region to shut down because of 'akwesidei' and funeral celebrations of royals is neck deep in galamsey and coulpable of galamsey activities.
How come all historic preservations of rivers that also servers as deities are all destroyed and and the overall head cannot issue a command, but can command royal celebrations when someone dies??? I mean how? Can one allow someone to go to toilet in his his drinking water if he does not appreciate that disrespect and insult? That is a perfect apology to Ashanti region galamsey, overlord , and the tolerance.
Shame to all chiefs in the region.
The youth will start chasing you these chiefs if they find it difficult to get drinking water.
