NDC ISSUED MORE LICENCES in a period of 4 years, compared to NPP 8 yeqrs. Why not go to the galasey sites to demonstrate. If doctors fo on strike today the rich galamsey kingpin can afford private hospitals, what of the rest of us. If we all die now who will be left to benefit from clean water. During rainy seasons rivers are muddy, compounded by galamsey, should we play politics out of this,

So, what kind of DEMONS at all inhabit these criminal NPP nation wreckers, including such depraved monsters like this NAPO PREMPEH, the ABOMINABLE MANHYIA HOMOSEXUAL..???? You Napo... you were caught red-handed when you succeeded in importing millions of LGBTQ teaching materials into the country, for distribution and use among our young kids in Basic Schools. It was God in the heavens who opened the eyes of Ghanaians to sniff out the homosexual contents that those materials were containing. And strangely today, it is Napo Prempeh who, in his state of SEVERE ALCOHOLIC & COCAINE INTOXICATION, is out here looking for someone to hang his "certificate of shame" on! Fire burn your filthy homosexuality... Napo Prempeh! You are such A DISGRACE to MANHYIA with all your filthiness..!!!!

FEAR JOHN MAHAMA IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONG! CUS THE GOON IS DANGEROUS AND A SLICK!

According to the Director of Ghana Mineral Commission, NDC and John Mahama are the biggest culprits in the GALAMSEY menace.

It turned out it was John Cribo Dariga Man Mahama who exacerbated the situation by issuing most of the mining that are being used to plague our country into where are today! Not only did the criminal kingpin issued those innumerable number of the licenses, he also went around the mining enclaves and assured the GALAMSEY operators that he will allow them to continue with their illicit operations, if he won the 2020 elections.

That was after President Akuffo-Addo has put his presidency on the line and burning excavators and chanfein machines that the illegal miners were using to destroy the Ghanaian landscape.

As if that’s not enough the deceptive goon also promised to allow the menace to continue to the extent of publicly giving assurance that will release all the people who were incarcerated for engaging in the acts.

John Mahama and Asiedu Nketia who is said to be born in the Ivory Coast are the prominent members of the illegal mining industry.

Aren’t you surprised that today John Cribo Dariga Mahama has bribed some leaders of the organized labor to undertake a crippling workers strike to cripple the Ghanaian economy?

Is going on strike the only to show concern about galamsey?
It is only an idiot who would suggest that doctors should go on strike for the ordinary citizen to suffer and the sick die because they want to show concern about galamsey. Why must others dies without cause just because of a stupid call to join a strike?
Seriously, I find it difficult to understand why embarking on a strike either by the organized doctors or the disorganized labour can be the solution to the problem of galamsey.
You want to impeach you GMA President because he has taken the right decision. I would suggest to the petitioner that if he is so bent on going on a strike because he is not capable of practicing his profession, he must not hide behind a galamsey strike. If he is so obsessed with galamsey and wants to do something with it, for it or against it he should call a personal strike and go to Amasie West and join the galamsey people there.

The main problem of Ghana is the CONSTITUTION Crafted by JJ Rawlings and his Cohorts. WINNER TAKES ALL! Nobody from the Media, Lawyers, Academia, Clergy, Politicians to the ordinary citizens is demonstrating for a change of the present Constitution. You can bring Presidents Obama, Clinton, Biden and all the best leaders the world has ever had and they will FAIL with the constitution that we are using. NDC and NPP have been in power from 1992 but we’re still complaining. There’s something fundamentally wrong. And that is the CONSTITUTION. Unless we rather demonstrate for it to be changed nothing can change.

Trust this corrupt so called doctor at your own peril. Such a character is heading the coalition of doctors in Ghana and you think this country can develop to catch up with Kenya or South Africa? If they truly care and want to stop the destruction of our rivers and land, then we want to see them issue an ultimatum to the government to yield to the demands of the organized labor or else they strike.

Indeed many Nppigs are fools. The galamsey menace is killing many Ghanaians. Many organizations are trying to find solution to the problem. Regrettably, you can hear some Nppigs saying the NDC issued many mining licences to miners more than the Npp. Some of them are also happy that the Ghana Medical Association has declined to join the labour strike on galamsey. Is it not time these Nppigs stop their nasty politicization of national issues and join hands in tackling the many problems that affect our nation?
