    Ghana govt must reject this money outright. We don't need their money, they should rather use such monies to repatriate their kinsmen/women back to China.

    The government of Ghana should reject this Chinese bait as their nationals will be untouchable when they return in disguise to dig for gold.

  • Kofi Adjei 8 years ago

    Galamsey must end. It should not be tolerated in any form or kind, with or without Chinese money. The damage we and future generations are going to suffer cannot be offset by $10 million Chinese money.

  • Agbeli Kumordizi 8 years ago

    How could that benefit the nation Ghana
    Best solution is to ban galamsay to save our environment that 10 millions of dollars is not close to the land destroyed by Chinese in Ghana at all
