    This is all agenda setting by NDC and their surrogate CSOs and media houses. NPP arrested illegal miners and destroyed their equipment in 2018 to 2010, and suffered the loss of several parliamentary seats and presidential vot ...

    The youth in the areas where galamsey is rampant should form armed taskforces and attack and destroy galamsey sites. After all, all death is one. They have the option of staying quiet and being poisoned to death or taking th ...

    I’m surprised all comments seems to support the reckless statement from the prof I expected to know better.

    Attempting to do that will even disintegrate Ghana.

    I wholeheartedly agree to the suggestion of shoot and kill on sight. That is the only solution that can put an end to this stupidity. They are killing us so why shouldn't they be killed too?

  • Apiiii Tooorr 1 year ago

    It's the only way to make the menace deterrent. We shouldn't play games with the water resources of our nation

  • deaf n Damb MP 1 year ago

    This is the truth and the only way. I thought same last night.

  • joe 1 year ago

    I agree with the prof. because if galamseyers can stand on their machine in the middle of the river and dare the police to come if you are men then there is the need to adopt drastic measures to deal with the menace.

  • GD 1 year ago

    There is nothing wrong with Democracy but it is not helping Ghana as well as other Africa countries. We should think about a sustainable system of government which will engender development.

    NPP galamsey kingpins want galamsey labourers to be shot and killed to cover them up. Let go of the poor labourers in the field, and shoot and kill that old man who put his presidency on the line, and his NPPig thieves.

    I think that should be the measures to be adopted by any government of the day.
    The government should identify those "so-called big men" behind, kill/imprisoned them for life irrespective of political affiliations.

    Prof,, I SUPPORT YOU TO THE HILT. They've declared war on the rest of us and killing us, summarily. We also don't need laws to kill them. The response should be SHOOT AND KILL

  • Kwame Peter 1 year ago

    What at all stops the government from banning excavators and chanfan from the country with only closely monitored limited quantity to bonafide contractors.
