The opposition should let us think. If they have nothing to talk about they should sleep.

You want to tell us that armed robbers also want to feed their families so they are not criminals? So many foolish people like you are in ghana.

My views on what the New Ashanti Reginal Minister by giving the illegal miners two weeks to leave the forest or face the law are as follows:

Educating illegal miners to stop illegal mining in Ghana's forests and prevent water pollution is a multifaceted challenge that requires a combination of strategies. Here are some effective approaches:

Community Engagement and Awareness: Conduct extensive awareness campaigns to educate community members about the environmental and socio-economic impacts of illegal mining. This can be done through dialogue sessions, town hall meetings, and outreach programs1. Encouraging community participation and protecting whistleblowers is essential.

Strengthening Legal Frameworks and Enforcement: Review and strengthen existing mining laws and regulations to address deficiencies that enable illegal mining activities. This includes imposing stricter penalties on offenders, enhancing monitoring systems, and improving traceability mechanisms for illegal mining products1.

Development of Sustainable Livelihood Alternatives: Many individuals engage in illegal mining due to lack of alternative means of livelihood. The government should focus on developing sustainable livelihood alternatives for affected communities, particularly those living in mining areas1.

Operation Clean the Water Bodies: Initiatives like "Operation Clean the Water Bodies" by the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) and the University of Mines and Technology (UMAT) aim to revive Ghana’s polluted rivers through eco-friendly solutions. This project has already shown promising results in reducing turbidity and contamination levels in key rivers2.

Collaborative Efforts: Engage local chiefs, youth, and community leaders in the fight against illegal mining. Their involvement can help protect lands, forests, and water bodies, making it a collective responsibility rather than relying solely on security agencies3.

By combining these strategies, it is possible to educate illegal miners and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices, ultimately protecting Ghana's forests and water bodies from pollution2.

What do you think about these approaches?

That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard from a government official. Does he know the damage those criminals will unleash on the virgin forests and water bodies in two weeks?

The minister must take note that criminals are people you should not give them 1inch.
The moment you consider them , they would take that leniency advantage to advance the tactics.
tackle them head on- and uproot them head on.
no room for justifications.

The government should declare a state of emergency and use the army to crack down heavily on galamsayers.Chiefs who have given lands for galamseying should be destooled.

Do you expect home to start throwing bombs and granades at them? What's wrong with your head? Is it the not the same thing the professor of forestry did? He didn't send army into the forest. The first step is to give notice by way of warning. What did you do when you minister of lands? You all the soldiers in Ghana for 8 years and yet did nothing.
Carry on Young Minister. The Yong shall grow.
