Why did you then tell Nana Addo to declare a state of emergency? You are double speaking now Sir. You have hoodwinked Ghanaians. Fellow Ghanaians the galamsey fight is lost. There is no hope.

God bless Mahama. The most matured and sensible leader of Ghana. He doesn't dance with a big stomach at the market place like a certain goat from Walewale called Bawumia

@Abudu. The goat you're referring to is far better than the drunkard who lies anytime he opens his mouth.

YOU HAVE 6 BILLION AND STILL BORROWING 1 BILLION+INTEREST? 3 months ago

YOUR GOLDBOAD HAS GENERATED 6 BILLION DOLLARS FOR GHANA, WHY DID YOU HIRE A JET TO SINGAPORE TO BORROW 1 BILLION PAYABLE WITH INTEREST?

"A-PLUS" IS ONE OF THE ACCOMPLISHED CRIMINALS IN GHANA POLITICS. ARREST THAT CRIMINAL IMMEDIATELY!

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT OSP, ORAL, NATIONAL SECURITY, ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OFFICE AND MANY OTHER ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENCIES IN GHANA ARE DOING.

TO THIS DAY, NOT A DIME OR PESEWA HAS BEEN DECLARED RECOVERED FROM ALL THESE CRIMINALS, NPP, NDC, CHIEFS, PASTORS, CEOs OF STATE INSTITUTIONS, ETC.

GHANA HAS BEEN LOOTED TO THE POINT OF ECONOMIC DEATH. THE LOOTERS ARE ENJOYING THEIR RETIREMENTS IN FULL GLARE OF THE LAW ON GRAFT A STATE CORRUPTION. Ei, GHANA!

MEANWHILE, THE BANKRUPTED GHANAIAN TAXPAYER CONTINUES TO FORK OUT A LOT OF OVERHEADS AND RELATED EXPENSES IN RUNNING COSTS OF THESE USELESS "ANTI-CORRUPTION" AGENCIES.

Kwaseanpanin in power!

If you elect a fool from a particular place in Ghana with people who drink from the same dirty pond with cattle, don't expect anything better.

Akans should reason because their land and gold are being decimated and those who are benefiting from the decimation are chronic fools like "Kɔtebɔtɔ" Mahama, Asiedu Nketiah (Seidu Keita from Burkina Faso), Ofuidjato Aboakwa, Sammy Gyamfi, Ibrahim Mahama, Sam Anago George, and the entire nation-wrecking NDC party.

Stop this tribal nonsense. For your information every region in Ghana including the Volta region are endowed with gold.
The Upper West is richer in gold than the Akan regions. Let’s build a United democratic non sexist republic.
Come and see the gold taken from and around Bolgatanga in the Upper East region. Visit the Savannah region and educate yourself.
We are one people with a common destiny. No tribalistic tendencies.

What you said before you got power is certainly not what you are doing. You are rather encouraging galamsey and the fight is indeed lost as said by Kk above. Major Mahama and the eight helicopter crash victims died for nothing!!! Do you hear anyone mention their names, if not their family members? God will judge you.

Good for nothing person elected to be the of a beautiful country Ghana. Ghanaians will regret so much for not voting for a sensible and non corrupt person like Bawumia.

It needs proper planning and coordinated efforts

Meanwhile, foreigners would be the SOLE BENEFICIARIES without the Goldbod.

So the QUESTION IS: Must WE shut out the foreigners as a first step, even if it means the STATE BENEFITS FROM GALAMSEY FOR A WHILE?

I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS BEING REALISTIC. IT IS NOT A PERFECT SCENARIO, BUT IT IS THE BEST SOLUTION GIVEN OUR CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS. THERE IS A TRADE-OFF, SO WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC AND STOP APPROACHING PROBLEMS THAT ARE DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH SIMPLISTIC SOLUTIONS.

I THINK I AM ON THE SIDE OF THE PRESIDENT. YOU CAN'T EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT.
