I am not a fan of chieftaincy, but you, Otumfour, are revered by your subjects. Why can't you simply issue an edict against galamsey in the entire Ashanti Region?

Seriously, ashantihene otumfuo is a big time hypocrite and a greedy person. In one vein he claim the lands under his jurisdiction are all his. So that makes it very easy. Give a decree to the Chiefs in ashanti region

Nana Piaaawwww!!! Nana wo nkwa so!! But seriously I also believe the power you have in Ashanti region is enough tame these greedy bustard politician you are blaming. I will suggest you first summon all your chiefs and warm them against these illigal activities going on within their catchment areas because most of these chiefs are accomplice in these galamsey issues. Do that and let’s see if Galamsey will not be a thing of the past in Ashanti region.

Where is the power of the so-called "otumfuor"?
There are places where you don't dare even dream about galamsey. It tells you how hypocritical and corrupt the asantehene is.

I'm sorry Otumfuor, but looking at the data Ghana has, from 1992 (Rawlings time) Kuffour, Atta-Mills and 2016 (Mahama), total mining licences were 99 and all our rivers and water bodies were very clean. From 2017 after your friend - Akufo-Addo took over, 2,151 licences were issued and what happened next was visible for all to see. Why can't we speak truth to power?. Akufo-Addo, after the "party hia sika" utterance, issued mining licences to party cronies, destroyed cocoa farms and forest reserves. Today, the same people are playing the Victms - calling for state of emergency.

Stop this blame game. You say that all lands in the Ashanti Region belong to you. Why can't you issue an order that you don’t want any galamsey on your land? When your sister the Asantehemaa passed away, you issued an order that nobody should come out, no commercial activities should go on, and everyone obeyed. If you know you are not benefitting from galamsey and you want the good health of your subjects, issue an order immediately and galamsey will end in the Ashanti Region.

Foolish chief, if you claimed that asante is yours and under your jurisdiction, why can't you give an order to your subchiefs and distool anyone who disobey, why blaming government?

Look at this galamisey king who's blaming the government when the galamisey is going in your backyard. Nonsense, criminal Canadian wanted.

Country of Jokers, is Otumfour now the President of Ghana to fight the Galamsey of all the 16 regions? The country pay tax to him? Is he the one in charge of the entire security of the nation needed to fight Galamsey? We are Jokers. Otumfour we know has at least destooled some chiefs in Ashanti believed to have involved in Galamsey which has served as a deterrent to others within Ashanti region, and those of us in the region are witnessed to this, and still still fighting it. What has the previous and current leadership of this country done to fight this menace? Just mention only one effort they've made, nothing. And now all of a suden Otumfour has become President of Ghana to fight Ghana's Galamsey, Jokers, concert and unserious nation. Did Ghanaians vote for Otumfour in last year's December election? Now all the Galamsey in all the 16 regions have moved to Ashanti region.

About 80% of the big rivers that serve as backbone with their smaller tributaries to enter into the sea have their sources in the Ashanti region. They include Tano, Bia, Ankobra, Pra, Offin and Ayensu. So if Galamasey stops in Ashanti region all the rivers will be clean. Let Otumfour put his right foot down and everything will be clean. Otumfour pls the whole country is relying on you to stop the Galamsey

Tano, Ankobra and Ayensu don't origininate from Asante. I'm sure you can differentiate Bono, Akyem, Sefwi from Asante.
And, for your information, Galamsay is now destroying Upper East Region too. There's even a court fight over mining rights on the Black Volta.
Stop the tribalism and partisanship and think about what future you will love to leave for your grandchildren.

Nana, s3bioo, I don't want to agree with you. You were enstooled in 1999, before this galamsey menace. We know how powerful you are and you claim all lands in Ashanti region belong to you. What stopped from DECLARING that any chief in Ashanti region who allows galamsey on his area would be destooled. For failing to do that, Nana, s3bioo you are an accomplice.

Blame games is always the case. Who owns lands in Ghana? Under whose authority are the various chiefs act in their various towns n villages? Can any body disregard any chief n his subjects in any village town n go to do anything in their forest or rivers?
Did we see chiefs n their subjects said no to mining in their communities n that is it in Ghana? Just asking.

Why are you blaming them now. All of you are are guilty and generation will never forgive you. You sit alof and most of these menace is under your jurisdiction. The whole country has lost focus and is in a mess now. I will encourage the good citizens to take their destiny into their on hand and protect their own environment becos both chiefs and politicians are not serious.

I have always thought Otumfuo is the absolute authourity in Ashaintiland.With that he could use his authourity to stop this obnoxious behaviour and punish the culprits.Or am I wrong? I stand to be corrected.
