BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ghanaian Youth Voice Discontent Over Government’s Failure to End Galamsey

Accra, Ghana — October 9, 2025

The Youth Association of Ghana has expressed growing concern over the government’s continued inability to end illegal small-scale mining, popularly known as GALAMSEY.

In a statement released this week, the group criticized both the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration and the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government for failing to deliver on promises to eliminate the practice, which continues to cause severe environmental degradation across the country.

The association recalled that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo once vowed to end galamsey even if it meant putting his presidency on the line. However, according to the group, the situation worsened under his leadership, a factor they believe contributed to the NPP’s electoral defeat 2024.

Turning to the current NDC administration, the youth pointed out that President John Dramani Mahama also pledged to address illegal mining with the same determination that ended the dumsor energy crisis in 2015. Yet, after nearly nine months in office, the group says illegal mining remains at its peak.

> “If President Mahama fails to resolve the galamsey menace as he did with dumsor, the youth of Ghana will be deeply disappointed in both the NPP and the NDC,” the statement read. “At that point, young people will be compelled to look for an alternative political force that genuinely prioritizes environmental protection and the future of our nation.”

Environmental experts have consistently warned about the long-term effects of galamsey, including pollution of major rivers, destruction of arable lands, and loss of biodiversity. Despite numerous anti-galamsey task forces and policy interventions over the years, the practice remains widespread.

The Youth Association’s statement adds to the growing public pressure on the Mahama administration to take decisive and transparent action against illegal mining operators, regardless of their political affiliations

Who are the forest guards preventing the arrest? What do we do to these Chinese duty persons? They can't do that in China but arrogantly conniving with Ghanaian counterparts in destroying our forest with impunity.

In China, a deputy minister is facing death penality because of corruption. What are we doing to ourselves? When the last river dries up there will be no Ghana.....

Arrest them take bribes from them and treat these ENVIROMENTAL TERRORISTS with kid gloves. The NDC government is becoming a disappointment. Why haven't they repealed the infamous LI that made it possible to mine in forest reserves. I wonder which Asian country or western country will tolerate what these ENVIROMENTAL TERORISTS are doing to OUR HERITAGE. You will be shot dead one time. So so talk talk.

I think these foreign nationals especially the Chinese should be given the harshest of the punishment since they are the money kingpins who has no respect for our laws and government.

Why mother Ghana? There's no agency of state that has had a passing grade in over 30 years in Ghana.

There are millions of Ghanaians, myself included, who do not know the parts of Ghana -never been there- where the damages caused by galampsey activities persist. Yet we have Chinese, Indians and people from God-knows-where who arrive in Ghana and are led by Ghanaians to those areas to destroy flora and fauna.

In the meantime, Ghana's Immigration agency believes their mandate covers only the validation of entry visas. A thief does not obtain visa at any Ghana mission by telling counselors they intend on stealing upon arrival. What exactly is the ministry of foreign affairs and immigration officials believe Chinese, Indians and etc are coming to Ghana to see or buy?

Are we to believe that Chinese come to Ghana as legitimate tourists? Are Indians and Middle Easterners coming to Ghana because Ghana tourist sites are 1st on their must-visit list? The money we make from tourism will never cover cost to reclaim our lands and rivers, never.

The harshest punishment Muntaka as Interior Minster recommended for foreigners is DEPORTATION. I hope these Chinese are deported so they can enjoy the wealth they illegally made in Ghana.
