The judge should be investigated. He has taken bribe or has interest in it.
For what lol concert now ndc want us to sell our cocoa grams to them to get money for gold board lol
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine.....for instance 10 paracetamol at once.....or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
The actions of the courts are normally the cause of instant justice. Of course the gallamsay will likely be the source of financial support the judge posted to that relatively remote area and he needs to survive I can imagine
I know the judge very well, he is a staunch NPP sympathiser and a galamsayer that many don't know about and I believe he should be investigated
Dr Mumbai you are a foolish and stupid man Ofui God will punish you for your fake advice to the youth of Ghana kwasea bi ba idiot
Mumbi Seraki aka Dr Quack, when are you going to serve yourself a dose of your own prescription, so that people can be rid of a vermin like you? Haba, don't you know anything apart from this stupid suicidal ideation?! Commot ...

Take it first for us to see how it is done
you are idiot
Everybody find Judge Lawrence Buenor Buer.he is responsible for giving murder weapons-excavators to illegal miners. FIND HIM ASAP..
Until Mahama forcefully purges our judicial system of all these DIABOLICAL JUDGES & MAGISTRATES, the remnants of Akuffo Addo allies will frustrate the fight against galamsey and corruption. Very soon, we the masses will unila ...

Journalists are part of the problem. How do you put out this report without mentioning the name of the judge who issued this stupid judgment.
WHAT IS MORE CORRUPT THAN THE RULING OF THIS JUDGE?....THE EXCAVATORS AND THE OTHER MINING EQUIPMENTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURNT ON SITE...TWEAA.
When Akuffo Addo ordered the excavators to be burnt same Ghanaian’s that complained he ordered it to be seized and some got stolen until we are ready to be patriotic this ain’t stopping
The Judge has received a goat and waakye. Most of these Judges are not fit for purpose.
As long as Gertrude Torkornu remains at post Ghanaians should expect more of these verdicts. The courts are equally complicit
Animal tell Ur saint JDM who's best friend is Solomon the gay grandmaster to sing the LGBTQ bill hmmm
@Wwwe
Can't comprehend the head and tail of your response. Easy to birthed a fool, but difficult to care for same.
This response reflects politically motivated gulibility in the face of the grave threat to the very existence of our society posed by illegal mining in our 'nature reserves'.
Did Getrude pass the sentence, why do you people hate for nothing
You can't understand some judges. Their reasoning but in this case someone's palm has been greased
You shouldn't try to understand these judges,the verdict is all part of the npps state capture doctrine.its simply organised criminal syndicate.all corrupt public and civil service personnel,all corrupt security service perso ...

Laws are laws and must be followed. The fact that we have galamesey dies not mean laws must be circumvented.
The best thing is to burn the mining equipment so that this stupid rulings will not take place
The FC should appeal
The state or Attorney General should appeal.
Which state and which AG ?? This criminals in power you want time to enforce the law ?? You ghanains truly have short memory and very gullible to believe these criminals
Who is this judge with this reckless ruling. The Forestry Commission must appeal this stupid and corrupted ruling. Sack the useless judge.
He should be shot. Nation wrecker
This is why the chief justice (Osono Maame) must be removed. Our judicial system has been turned upside down
Welcome to new banana republic. The nation wreckers NDC are truly resettling the country
The courts are the main problem
Are our court system helping to destroy the environment or helping to protect it ? The system is corrupt.
by their ways we will know them, NDC at it again,wonders shall never end.
The judge was appointed by the npp and posted to that locality to protect gbttlamsay...ofui..it's the NDC that sent the matter to court. Where are the over 350 monitoring drones that Npp squired. They have stolen all,sold the ...

That is why the excavators should be burnt upon seizure!
If our Judiciary and for that matter, the 'rule of law' is so severly 'discredited' in the eyes of society, confidence in the constitution and democratic governance will progressively be diminished as time goes on.
Noko fioo has exchange hands. May be yam and goat.
Instead of helping to curb the illegal mining, they are hiding behind the law to frustrate efforts of the government. Those mining communities impacted negatively by these illegal activities are also quite. What a country.
In the face of the threat possed by ongoing events, it appears that calls for a 'State of Emergency' in the fight against 'illegal minning' are justified.
I think the judge is qualified to to rot in hell!!!
NONSENSE

So what is their punishments FOR ILLEGALLY DESTROYING THE FOREST. HOW MUCH BRIBE DID THEY PAY TO THE JUDGE?
The judge is a real galamseer. Look I can say for a fact that he is enjoying booty from the galamseers In his constituency. Shame to the judge
Dig the political inclination of this judge and it will surprise you.
The whole system is compromised leaving only few people without authority to fight this cancer. That judge must be transferred and interdicted. How can we win this war if the courts will be passing this jaundice judgments.
That is why we need men in uniform to rule for the next 10 years. Period
I strongly agree with you
THE JUDGE IS A GALAMSEY KINGPIN
HE IS THERE FOR THE ILLEGAL MINERS NOT FOR THE INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY
The bribe illegal miners pay is $100,000 a month. The judges have been collecting bribe. Remember Anas' video? The illegal miners are always smart. They bribe all the institutions which can give them problem.
Was the judge trained in law school. Even a layman without legal training won't give such a judgement knowing very well the destruction in our country. May God punish him and his descendants.
The judge should be arrested, and give capital punishment. He is a criminal
The court ruling is horrible. Hope the judge enjoys drinking mercury in the water and loves illegal mining

Most of the judges in our judiciary are so corrupt. This is the most weird court order I heard heard. No wonder Ghana is gradually becoming a banana Republic. He must be investigated. Foolish judge
These judges have started again….
Can't the Forestry Commission appeal against this ABSURD JUDGEMENT?
The judge is a fool. He is involved in galamsey. He must be arrested asap. Kwasiato
We don't need such judges in our courts. A sack will be in line.
The judge is part of the syndicate so he should be jailed with immediate effects.
This shows the stupidity of some of our judges. Very outrageous decision by the judge. I fear for Ghana.
These are the nation wreckers destroying the country. Some policemen and Judges are actively aiding and abetting this criminal behaviour
Next time set the machines on fire
Galamsey judge giving galamsey judgement
Olokodioko
Nonsense this are the Judges fighting against JDM and the NDC to Succeed.
This Judge has definitely taken goat and yam I swear chaiiiiiiiiii. Judges should be removed with immediate effect now.
Those are criminals who used those equipments for criminal activities, and what is that stupid educated fool of a judge saying, that per the laws they have the right to relocate their criminal apparatus? This judge should be ...

JDM is so compasionate. Thats it must be burnt
I now agree with the authorities that set the machines ablaze.
Did you want to judge the punish the miners by ordering burning of the excavators even before hearing and final judgement? Aboa reporter
Corrupt judge
How is this even possible? Galamsey will not end with such questionable characters in the judiciary.
Look, reading the article leaves me in wonderland as to why a magistrate judge gave a ruling as this : this so-called judge must be fired instanta!!
I am left in doubt that this judge is part of the criminal syndicate destr ...

THIS JUDGE IS CORRUPT OR INVOLVED IN GALAMSEY.
HE MUST BE INVESTIGATED BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY.
HE'S THE REASON WHY GOVERNMENT CANNOT DEFEAT THE GALAMSEY OPERATIONS.
MAY BE HE DRINKS FOREIGN WATER.
The judge is very stupid
The judge is called his Lordship Lawrence Buenor Buer
People will thwart the efforts of those risking their lives to save the environment.The court at enchi should be stopped at once
The judge must be transferred immediately. He is in bed with them. Chief Justice fyi..
WHY ARE WE BEING SO STUPID IN GHANA.
I FEEL VERY SAD FOR GHANA THAT DESPITE THE MASSIVE HARM BEING CAUSED BY GALAMSEY TO THE COUNTRY SOME PEOPLE DO NOT SEE THE NEED FOR IT TO BE REVERSED.
This court is court operating outside the jurisdiction it is supposed to operate under what sort of court is that? The miners can not operate mining at a place of their choice
This is why the CJ must go and get rid of all these kinds of evil judges in our courts. EVIL NPP
The Forestry office in Enchi should quickly the appropriate ministry to take it up from there.
The court there is not above the Environment Ministry.
We are so corrupt to the point we no longer care what happens to our forests. Even amidst the fight against galamsay, courts are still directing seized excavators to be released and allowed to relocate. What kind of nation wr ...

The Police should disregard the ruling in the nations interest.
They can't. The law is the law. Best is to appeal this crazy judgement
This is crazy
Those illegal miners should have been shot dead like the court will not put out this stupid ruling.
