  Illegal (small scale) mining is a menace. The impact of this is just devastating just imagine that whiles eating your fufu at at Tema or Koforidua ignorantly you could be taking food that has been contaminated by heavy metals as a result of this king of uncontrolled mining activities?
  The situation is more serious that politicians make is believe, there is a serious threat even to the cocoa industries as traces of heavy metal is being found in cocoa.
  the very livelihood oh the nation is threatened and the earlier the citizens take this up the better

  You are spot on bro. Heavy metals in cocoa beans. Mercury and arsenic will lead to international boycott of Ghana's cocoa.

  There is no need to waste money on drones.
  
  Punish those engaging in the act severely. Name each group apprehended and show their faces on the TV.
  
  Get competent judges in a dedicated court to deal with saboteurs of all natural resources and the like. Dedicate a security unit for that.
  
  Amewu will end up pocketing part of the money for the drones and its maintenance.
  
  You know all the galamsey areas and those chiefs and government appointees involved. Just deal with them.

  How do you punish the offenders if you can't find them? That is what the drones can do. Reconnaissance drones can take excellent pictures and video of activities in an area, which can be used as evidence for prosecution.

  What the drone will do? Kill them or arrest them? If you really want to stop this land destroyers put Ghana military forces on the ground.

  My friend when these guys have mounted their dredges on Ankobra River and other water bodies like River Pra and Offin and are doing their own thing you dare not venture. Mind you they are also armed to the teeth. Some Politicians are behind them. Drones will solve the problem. If two or more people loose their lifes then people will begin to sit up.
