Square pegs in round holes. Did the minister listen to himself? He's rather inviting foreigners to come and destroy our country for us. Surely, the minister is not a Ghanaian.

Prosecution is not enough. There should also be a posting of a financial bond for the environmental remediation. After all, that is what would bring us closer to the original state of the environment.

As for the Chinese, after prosecution, their Ambassador in Ghana should pay for any fine as well as deportation to China for good. Thank you.

Recipe for disaster! A free ride back home as a deterrent? No please. Rethink this decision. Put them in handcuffs, prosecute, jail in hard labour (work on state farms planting trees) and confiscate all known assets. Thereafter deport them and declare them unwanted forever in Gh.

What makes sense, and will serve as deterrence for the guilty is imprisonment, followed by deportation. Not only that, fast track courts must be established to prosecute galamsey, the existential threat that it poses

They should be prosecuted, so that there would be a record on them in the case they find other means in getting back into the country to commit other crimes. Someone stealing a can of sardines is prosecuted and jailed, whilst someone causing enormous crime to the detriment of the country is deported to go and and enjoy the money they have amassed through their crimes. Why?

JAIL THEM BEFORE DEPORTING TO THEIR COUNTRIES 8 months ago

What kind of rubbish is that? You get punished for any crime you committed in any country before they decide to deport you. Why would deport them unpunished? Mr. Minister please think again.

The chief and the leaders should be arrested first. They gave them the land for small amounts of money, not thinking about the country's future. On Accra kumasi road,these people are mining opening and the Township are helping them to destroy it.The people who are working with them are Ghanaian and just thinking about the money. Ghanaian has to help themselves and protect our country.

But of course, how do you just repatriate a criminal without any prosecution? And who is going to bear the cost of such repatriation and the land restoration when the culprit has been given a free ride to their country?
