  • Waters Zack 4 months ago

    You blasted President Akuffo Addo calling Kyebi as Galamsey head Quarters. Now the ball is in your court. We are watching.

  • Bronu Fine 4 months ago

    This would be a great betrayer to Galamseyers. You told them Akuffo Addo is wicked that is way he is pursuing them. Hypocrisy and wickedness.

  • Anti-Corruption 4 months ago

    Where has Mahama been hiding to not know Galamsey is a major problem for Ghana. Declare a state of emergency, repeal LI 2464, prosecute violators, including those in NDC.
