Obviously this idiot is part of the problem. How can someone entrusted with the power to fight illegal mining talk like this? President Akufo Addo, over to you. These are some of the people in your government making it difficult tlfor you to fight this menace.

Fire his ass for everyone to know you are serious with this fight.
THIS CRIMINAL IS ALSO A MINISTER. NO WONDER GHANA IS RETROGRESSING 1 year ago

Ghana will continue to retrogress so long as you have people like these as ministers.

Heeeeeeerrrrrrr.......... What am I hearing! We are simply not angry enough! We are being too charitable and courteous with these nauseating and unprincipled vagabonds in power. We need to start beating up and killing these scumbags and stinky skunks who are endangering our very existence. Every statement by these inglorious bastards and glorified freeloaders in power indicate that they are the very ones involved in and behind the galamsey menace.
I say eh.......The number of people who will vote for Bawumia will determine the number of lunatics we have in Ghana.

.My brother, the best antidote at this junction is to get more voters to understand that the current people in power are no longer good for the country so they must be voted out.

He is really a foolish mp. It's because most of these galamseyers are in his constituency, when it is banned they 'll vote against him.
Wicked politician

I'm ashamed to be part of the intelligentsia for the posture of the Civil Society Organisations and the various Utag groupings. What was the response of the CDOs and the various Utag members when John Mahama stood on various campaign platforms in 2020 and promised to release imprisoned illegal galamseyers? Where were this various bodies and the media organisations who are shouting on top of the roof top for the resignation of Abu Jinapor and the President when Kwaku Boahen and Tony Aubyn were going round galamsey sites inciting galamseyers not to relent in their quest to acquire their daily bread. I am against the destruction of our water bodies myself but the hypocrisy of our intelligentsia is too much. The CDOs and the various critics should be ashamed of themselves.

If indeed you are a member of the intelligentsia, (which I doubt) then I'm afraid you are a disgrace to that group of academically astute body. Our very existence as a species is under threat of extinction and you're here in 2024 attacking responsible CSOs and NGOs who are determined to save us and generations yet unborn by extrapolating from a whole lecture John Mahama gave in 2020 and basing your argument and conclusion on that extrapolation. OMG!

What Ghanaians are saying is that Ghana is in CRITICAL STATE regarding the damage being done our waters, lands, farms and food and We NEED A BREAK! A ban for a year or two will not kill our economy. After all, we didn't die when we stopped road tolls!

What are you Talking about? As a Minister you should Think about Ways and Means to Protect Our Forests , Wildlife and Rivers. Maybe You are in the Galamsey too that’s why you are Against Calls for the Ban. You have no Idea to Protect and Preserve the Environment for Future Generations. Very very Sad for Ghana to have Voted for Npp to Steal and Destroy the Country.

Mireku Galamsey! So you don't see or care about how our environment is being degraded, our water bodies polluted, our forests and cocoa farms destroyed, diseases and deformities visited on Ghanaians and babies especially. So you don't care about all this evil because you are neck-deep in galamsey and there only your parochial interest matters to you. Oh God, what did we do wrong to have such demons forced on us as our leaders? Forgive us, Lord and deliver us from them, because they are creating hell on earth in this our homeland.

anybody who come out to speak against the call for banning galamsey is either compromised his positions by taken huge bribes or is part of those destroying the water bodies.
I support the Ban-
workers unions, cso, Bar Association and medical & dental Associations, all must join hands in the demonstrations and sit-down strikes because it is the government led by Akuffu Addo and Bawumia who is aiding the destruction .
if you keep quite and don't support the call for the ban
either you would import water to drink, or you drink the poisonous water and get sick
