Really? But isn't the government's policy one of deporting these evil Chinese galamsey bandits instead of prosecuting them and having them serve prison sentences in Ghana prisons? If one is to believe your claim, then why not post the names of all foreigners arrested for galamsey, their court cases, and the ones serving prison sentences in Ghana so that the public can believe the noise you're making?

God exists, but all organized religions are man-made and replete with lies and deceptions There's no one religion that is God-sanctioned, for God is not in a book, nor did God cause any persons to write a book about God.

@JULOR CAESAR, in other words God did not create any religion. Neither can you describe God in a box of religion. So man created God in his own image through religion which is man made. And God is also not an author of confusion to be revealing different stories about him/herself to different writers at different geographical locations at different periods in history. Or God does not only exist in some small corner of the world, reveal him/herself to some small group of people to export knowledge about that God to his/her other children in other parts of the world. Aloo?

In Ghana on autopilot? Just recently Muntaka told us all foreigners caught engaged in galamsey would be deported and madam is now saying they would face prison sentences, who is being truthful here? In any case who give visas to these Chinese and what do they say they are coming to do in Ghana?
According to this article Hanna said the laws of Ghana prohibit foreigners from engaging in illegal mining activities, does it imply that locals can do it? You are now calling on Ghanaians to help fight galamsey, did you help the NPP government in the fight during their tenure? We must stop politicising issues that negatively affect the nation. Are the Chinese the only foreigners engage in galamsey in Ghana? What about those from neighbouring countries?

I don't even know when government's policy on illegal foreign miners changed from deportation to prosecution.

Is deportation punishment? How does being sent back to your home country using taxpayers' hard earned cash equate punishment for desecrating our lands and river bodies?

You are disputing the fact that you guys are content creators however, what you said proves you are. Muntaka is deporting Chinese galamseyers and you are also talking bullshit. What do you people take us for.

This lady needs to be commended. She is doing what no man did in last 8 years. She should be given all the support to clean up the criminals and get them arrested and prosecuted. At the same time other state agencies should go after the head of the snakes that own and are running these illegal operations. Why the delay in repeal of LI allowing mining in forests. The heavy metals pollution is slowly killing the people of Ghana without them knowing. In future there will be a lot of cancer and kidney failure cases.

To those Ghanaians who are wailing about the Chinese in Ghana, can you be fair and tell us how they came to Ghana and become part of the "Galamsey menace"?

It was the same NDC government under Mills and Mahama who willfully invited the Chinese to come to Ghana and go into illegal mining. Yes, and I dare anyone to dispute that claim.

Who was Aisha Huang, and under what government did she become a "Household name" in Ghana, and what measures was taking to put her away? That lady dared Mahama to touch her, and was she touched?

We are in this never-ending nightmare due to NDC, yes because they did not think deep enough about the "After-effect" of the decision they took then.

It is high time our forests declared no go zone to foreigners nationals and those Ghanaians who condone with them should face heavier penalties.
