THIS PROVES THAT OUR GHANA GOVERNMENT IS REALLY, REALLY VERY WEAK INDEED ! CHINESE, BURKINABEES, ETC. HAVE THE AUDACITY AND COURAGE TO ENTER OUR COUNTRY, GHANA, AND START DESTROYING OUR ECOLOGICAL PROPERTIES WITHOUT FEAR NOR RESPECT. WHAT IS THE GHANA GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT THIS ??? CAN A GHANAIAN TRAVEL TO CHINA AND START EXTRACTING GEOLOGICAL MATERIAL FROM THEIR LAND ? WHO BORN THAT GHANAIAN BY THAT MISTAKE ?

Government isn't weak, it was, under NPP, the galamsey government. You're hearing about these arrests because NDC government is working.

When will we stop this NPP/NDC thing? Government of Ghana is just that, government of Ghana. What was happening before Akuffo Addo staked his government on stopping galamsey? It means it was going on. It is still going on today. This kind of attitude is killing us.
Ghana is Ghana and government is government.
We must demand performance irrespective of NPP/NDC.

I am a Ghanaian by birth, I read feel sad any time I read some about galamsey, is like all the nearby countries are in Ghana engaging in this illegal activity, what's going on with our two main political parties, NDC and NPP, we should put Ghana first else soon we shall importing water from these nearby communities, our water bodies are drying up, our forest is vanishing, just recently our cocoa was found to be contaminated with cyanite. Oh mother Ghana, can these Burkinabe do this in their country? Is like all hope is getting lost, what's the future now, even railway lines are digging for galamsey!!

Just deal drastically with any such people whether they are UFO passengers from Mars or Americans from the Whitehouse in Washington DC. No need to describe who they are.

The NDC government is in power now, and after 10 months, some of you still want to blame the NPP the NPP government? Who are doing the Galamsey now? Go to all Galamsey sites and l bet you 90% of the activities is being done by NDC followers. We should stop the blame game, either NPP or NDC. We should take this situation very very serious and stop this once and for all because by the next 5 to 10 years, we all will be in serious sicknesses and diseases.

Boukenabes are easy pray. Right? How about the Chinese?
Also, some Ghanaian Kingpins, politicians and even Chiefs openly operating excavators and Changfanks are not arrested. In Ghana some people are above the law. Until we can overcome that, it will be difficult to have things work well in Ghana. Let's be frank, some kings, high office holders can not be arrested by anyone in Ghana. and we it.

I thought Burkina Faso is being taunted as the rising economic giant in west Africa. Why then are her citizens migrating to Ghana to engage in illegal mining? Where is the miracle of Ibrahim Troure?

Our Interior Minster has assured foreign nationals involved in galamsey that they would not face our laws but sent back to their home countries and that is the incentive these foreigners are trooping. Meanwhile, manufacturing and selling of galamsey equipments at Anwiankwanta is seriously going on. Why are our politicians only interested in coming to power? To do what? These aliens are illegally destroying our ecosystem. After the destruction they go back to their countries to enjoy their illegally acquired wealth whilst we sit here and suffer the consequences. There's something wrong with our thinking.

When it comes to galamsey, have you ever heard any chief or any land owner been arrested? How do the Chinese, the Burkinabe etc got the land.? How can minning goes on years on a particular forest without nobody especially the chief in that jurisdiction is neither questioned nor arrested. There is always someone who is behind. If you want to kill a snake, just cut the head off and the whole long body will die. After arresting the miners, severe investigation must go on to trace the owner of the land for further investigations. The root course must be destroyed with heavy sentence to desencourage others to follow that course.

THIS IS WILL BE A FRUITLESS ARREST IF YOU DON’T JAIL THEM FOR 50 YEARS OR MORE. WILL THIER PRESIDENT TOLERATE SUCH CRIMES IN THIER COUNTRY?

Foreigners engaging in illegal mining practices in Ghana needs to be prosecuted and jailed before they are deported to serve their criminal offences in foreign country.
Foreigners cannot come into Ghana and engage in criminal activities and when arrested they just get deported.
These deportations should not serve as an incentive for them to return and commit another crime.
Ghanaian institutions should wake up and enforce laws to deter criminalities.

So are you telling me that there were no Ghanaians involved . Even language barrier is a clue that they were not working alone so why leave out the Ghanaians who are the main culprits
