    Just imprison them first. Those stinking fools do not respect Ghanaians. Which Ghanaian can engage in Galamsey in China? You just dare not.

  • Jimmy-UK 11 years ago

    I don't blame them but our leaders. These can't happen anywhere in the world except Ghana. Deport them straight!

  • Kofi 11 years ago

    Get them all out of the country ASAP

  • KK 11 years ago

    I agree with Frank.They should locked them up for 1month before getting them out. If your visa expires while in China, they lock you up for 1month before they send you out. We should do the same thing to them here.

  • OZA 11 years ago

    The question is, how do these Chinese know where to go? Somebody - a citizen of Ghana led them there. The foreigners don't just go to Ghana and settle anywhere by choice. So the Minister should deal with those elements of the ...

    It is about time they are dealt with. This should be a warning to all the foreigners in Ghana, that we will not stand for disrespecting our country Ghana. Good for her. l hope the other government leaders to do the same.

    I THINK THE COMMUNITIES ARE MUCH INTERESTED IN THEIR DAILY BREAD BUT NOT THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN

  • KOBINA KWENTSIR 11 years ago

    No Ghanaian would be allowed into any other Country to be able to carry out illegal activities. Bravo Madam Adjoa Ntoso & police Supt. Darko. Please give their gears to unemployed Ghanaians to do that.

  • kwame 11 years ago

    Why can’t Ghanians do their own mining ? Just do it and stop complaining !!! Others who are hardworking will seize the opportunity while the black man sits, sleeps, eat and breed children with different baby mamas.

    Wow, the truth hurts. Ghanaians are lazy and stupid.

  • Glo 11 years ago

    Not all are stupid. There are other factors at work here. There is greed, corruption, a "me" attitude, a general "I do not care" attitude" etc.

  • Glo 11 years ago

    Some of your comments are true, but please be careful not to generalize. Many Ghanaians are intelligent - they are just governed by greed and corruption. We also tend not to care about pollution and how it will affect us and ...
