You're an imbecile. Were you not in this country when the NDC asked the gov't of the day to declare a state of emergency.

Both npp and ndc have no intention of ending galamsey. Radical action by the people is required to end the damage!!!

Waaa look. What do you think a state of emergency comes. You think security will just go and sit in a town and chat with the people. We should be mindful of what we wish for...... because we might just get it. We have all played with this Galamsey and it's gotten out of hand.

My big worry is that we have regions like Ashanti and Eastern Region where the Chiefs are so powerful and even go to disstool other chiefs who misbehave but we have not heard them complain about any galamsey issue in their communities and regions by taking drastic measures.

THE FIGHT AGAINST GALAMSEY CAN ONLY BE WON BY A FIGHT FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

In as much as l share your thoughts, the proposal is not far from what is being done now If not the same. Our collective voices and commitment matters in this fight. It should not be left to the government of rhe day alone to fight. The Chiefs, traditional authorities and all stakeholders at the local level should up their games as well.

We are already in the jungle,those Chiefs whose farming lands and water bodies are being destroyed can pick guns and shoot those Galamseyers if the lady cares to know. The Chiefs can win their cases in Law court.

True, Jema is a shinning example. The Chief and the community led by Father JB have kept their environment free from mining.

Unfortunately, in some communities such as Assemkrom and Atronsu, the activists are being intimidated. Criminal charges were brought against Atronsu activists protecting their landscape and the Atronsu Stream, the only source of drinking water when 2 excavators were burnt. The activists deny burning the excavators but they spent 4 nights in custody and are currently on bail.

Yes. The Government and Parliament can pass a bill “To shoot to kill.” We have to protect the lives of thirty five million people as the population of Ghana. The criminals have taken over the Nation and destroyed the environment. The rivers and farmlands destroyed by the illegal mining thieves. The only language criminals Chinese and their counter Ghanaians will understand is shooting to stop the madness in the country. Ghana has been rape far too long.

If it’s let alone to the political leaders this fight against Galamsey won’t be won .
Mahama government is using the same approach of Akufo Addo government which never worked.

Awula Serwaa, for the greatest respect, I beseech you to know that the galamseyers are as evil-minded as armed robbers who are callously stealing our health, future, peace, etc away. They're engaged in a mission to destroy our nation. In simple language they've declared WAR ON OUR NATION. And remember he who takes the sword must be ready to die by the sword. I totally support shoot to kill against the illegal miners. They wish us all dead in pursuit of their selfish and dangerous economic interest. The earlier we met them with the ruthless force ever the better it would be for the survival of our nation.

Awula Serwa you call them "enviromental terrorists", what do you do to a terrorist you invite him for dinner??? They are delibrately killing us and you expect a pat on their shoulders? These greedy individuals do not understand nor speak the language of diplomacy. You cannot be diplomatic with a fool more so a greedy fool. We will soon take arms and face them if you fail to repeal that infamous LI. Maybe you people want chaos. We will defend our land, our water bodies and our livelihood.

If drones can do this then i think Ghana is heading towards not losing its pollution through contaminated water which is affecting food crops nationwide.
We must also engage the US and Isreal security agencies to deploy same Thermal drones to laser point any individual Minning which is vey painful it can take the person about a year to recover from pain. Just to discourage people and stop it. We are in crisis, There is a sharp increase in metal poisoning across the country. The chemical used in treating the water is also not good. We are in trouble ooooo .A Chinese friend told me they have regrated introducing chamfer machine to Ghana because it will gradually decline the population. Ghana will not be a safe place to stay due to polluted water bodies
