For once we both agreed one one thing. The problem is both NPP and NDC government have failed to stop the degradation of the environment.

How can we stop this wanton destruction of the environment?

The cause of the galamsey is POVERTY. l repeat the cause of galamsey is poverty. During the 8 year hardship of the useless clueless purposeless ndc government, Ghanians were saddled with untold hardships forcing most people to go into galamsey. No amout of persuasion can stop the people from digging for gold. I shudder to say its too late. But hope the NPP'S one district one factory will offer hope to these people.

This country has not seen anything yet. Did we ever witnessed this during president Jerry Rawlings era ? Let us face it. When we have people in leadership who are not discipline what do we expect ?

When President Mahama toured the area by air and described the situation as it is so that we could tackle it head-on, he was chastised and insulted by the then opposition and Akyems. They claimed he had insulted the Akyems. In fact, that galamsey chief and his cohorts then ganged up against the president just because the truth was told. Today, this crook of a chief is happy that his beloved party is at the helm of affairs so they should not blame anyone but themselves for this tragedy of enormous proportions that stare the future of the area in the face. They campaigned promising support for the youth in glasses, tree felling and other environmentally damaging activities. Yes, it resulted in massive votes for them by the youth across the length and breadth of the country, but then it has left us a legacy of destruction and bleak future for future generations. Let no one complain about the situation because we fully deserve it as a nation.

What tears have Ghanaians have to shed? Before the advent of any government under the abbreviation "...NDC", there were big and small scale industries in the nation. There was:- TRAMCO(TRAVEL BAGS MFG CO - ATONSU), APINO, KARIKARI MENSAH, FOOTWEAR, JUTE BAG FACTORY, LEATHER & TANNING, ARTIFICIAL LEATHER FACTORY, BOITEY BAG FACTORY (TEMA), etc they were all brought to an end by then revolutionary "PNDC". So was OBUASI GOLDFIELDS brought down by "NDCs" and in their place GALAMSEY established to fill their pockets. And many of these are illegal with the backing of party and government functionaries of the NDC. They of Kwame Nkrumah and nationalism but are really looting machines which should be brought to justice.

It used to be very scary to engage in galamsey in the past, but now, people aren't afraid anymore . Now the situation seems out of control so we're talking of legalising it,perhaps should armed robbery becomes fierce and more rampant, we may legalize it too... Haven't we failed? Correcting a wrong by accepting it? Haba !!! Ghana

With the Chinese miners, its impossible to get rid of them. Its more than illegal mining its due to our shameless and mediocrities .
We have eaten the little cake that we had and still want it back. We are really joking.
1. All those grants that Ghana take from China, or we thank the Chinese are father Christmas
2. Numerous scholarship offered to Ghanaian students why don't the Chinese have anything to do with their resources.
3. Either we are dump or foolish to think free launch actually exist.
Everybody wants to take his bite, no one is willing to sacrifice a common breakfast for greater good future or the general population.

Weep for Ghana!
