Wrong . Ndc started this nonsense under what Atta mills and Mahama called “youth in mining “ and that is what has become a canker in our lives that we are struggling to get rid off. Stop blaming nana Addo.

Saul, I wish you change your name to Paul because you are truthful. Galamsay was there during my infancy many decades ago. It was at the time of Mahama that it became industrialized and uncontrollable. Now Galamsay has become dangerous very dangerous. With almost all Professionals and even and Traditional Authorities involved, it is extremely difficult to stop it. We have got to a situation Ghanaians have to be made aware that we are digging our own graves and we better stop the Galamsay now and immediately. Hmmm. I cry for my beloved country.

Hahahaha, Ekow, you remind me of the Good Old Days when he was at the University of Ghana studying Kaw. That was the time he used to wear AFRO MOSES and branded himself as a Socialist. Hahahaha. He had a lot of believers and followers. Very funny indeed. When and why did he dumped the AFRO MOSES sandals and started putting on British and American Suits and started becoming a Capitalist? Yes. That was when he became a close associate with Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings and began to prosecute people at the Tribunals. Yes. That was when he was able to put up houses in Accra, Tema, and Ho. Now he is no more a Socialist.? Anyway, I like him because after making his fortune under Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings, he has kept quiet and maintained a very low profile. He is talking now because he probably wants Ghanaians to know that he is still alive. He should however be told that the time when he controlled the Legal areas in Ghana is past and gone.. We are in the Computer Age and his Grandchildren in the Legal System can easily floor him. We are in the Computer Age and all information is on the Internet. Gone are the days when he was a lecturer and could take all the good law books at the library home so that students could not have any information apart from what he gave out during lectures at the Lecture Theatres.

YES, MISTER KNOW IT ALL TSATSU BUT ALWAYS GOOFS WHEN IT COMES TO REAL COURT CASES. FROM AFRC, THROUGH PNDC TO NDC THEY ALWAYS ATTACK CERTAIN JUDGES WHO WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO USE THOSE TWISTED LAW THEORIES IN COURT. WE MUST ALL KNOW THAT HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERED UNDER TERRIBLE REGIMES THESE SOCIALISTS PROVIDED WEAK INTELLECTUAL SUPPORT. A PRESIDENT WHO MEANS WELL WILL NOT MISUSE A STATE OF EMERGENCY AGAINST HIS CITIZENS. I DO NOT AGREE TO TSATSU’S POSITION. IF IT WAS HIM WILL HE AGREE TO ALLOW A PRESIDENT OR ANY OFFICIAL TO DO THAT? GOD IS ALIVE AND KHARMA IS CERY REAL. AMEN

Galamsay mattress need to be addressed to OAU, United Nation Assembly, BBC News etc.the only way to tackle the issue. Galamsay is another form crime against humanity and is considered as Genocide.

Dear Tsatsu, your stance on this matter is rather not like you. If state of emergency COULD impact the rights of the citizenry, have you also considered the impact of galamsey on the rights of the citizenry to LiFE AND LIVELIHOOD, at least latently? What about the untold exclusion and dejection that children born with deformities will endure with their parents? These are questions of conscience and morality; not law. Please note that no one is saying that nothing has been done so far. In matters like this which affect our very existence, what is important is RESULT, not efforts and intentions/

The Akans, the Akans, the Akans…will lose their authority over aspects of governing this country because of how corrupt, greedy and selfish they are. You can imagine the Northerners or Ewes making up 50% of Ghana‘s population with the land, precious resources and how they would have been united against the rest. The Akans, the Akans can’t unite, can’t agree between themselves, don’t love their own like we see Ewes and Northerners do. The Ashanti, the Akyem, the Kwawu, the Fante, Twifo, Sefwi, Assin and Akuapem can’t come together so the Smaller Tribes have found a way to dribble them suuliya. It is true, Volta is intact while galamsey deals are struck in Kumasi and Kyebi. All the rivers in Western, Central, Eastern and Ashanti Regions have turned yellow. Otumfour has a say in who gets land to mine in Ashanti. Okyehene has power over who enters any forest to mine. Why are they not doing the right things? One day, Manhyia will cave in because Wontumi is digging for gold under the palace. Kyebi will soon be in ruins because Ibrahim Mahama has bought the whole town to dig for bauxite.

Agbeli don’t be a certified nasty fool. There may not be many Galamsay sites in the Voltarian areas but don’t you know that the Anlo Ewe people are scattered everywhere in Ghana? There are Anlo Ewes even at Zongo communities.because of poverty in their communities. They can migrate and settle anywhere including even Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and even Gaza. I shall not be surprised if they are even found at the North and South Poles.
Agbeli, do you know where the food you and your Anlo Ewe people eat mostly come from Galamsay regions? It will make more sense if you come out with very brilliant ideas as to how we can fight and defeat Galamsay.

Galamsey fighting could have been easy if we have a real police administration in Ghana. We know its a crime and we have police stations across the country, the various police commanders in the galamsey areas should be sacked if they can't arrest the offenders, they should start sacking them and we will see a change.

Stop issuing license to galamsay miners if you care about Ghanaians life ..galamsay destroy lands and waterbodies causing and creating diseases in ghana. Think about life ,not money .what's the difference between legal mining and the illegal mining, they are all destroying the country. Mr president practice what you preach for a better solution to this problem of galamsay. You own the army and the whole police force to stop the galamsay in 48hours ,this is not a world War.. stop the fake news, face the facts towards the dirty mining.
