NDC is a bunch of wicked people listen to this foolish woman. They don’t care if all Ghanaians die in exchange for galamsey money. Stop galamsey and the water will be clean simple

Isn't it shameful that you're here 'appealing' to both government and the private sector for a paltry $200, 000 to pilot a solution to a life threatening menace of our polluted water bodies? Are you serious about the fight against galamsey at all? The other time you said you just needed five helicopters and ten guns and in two weeks you'll stop galamsey. What ever happened to that proposal?

We are making a strategic mistake with this approach, quite honestly we should not be piloting anything at this juncture of the threat that our water bodies are contaminated rather, we should be scouring the world looking for the best of the best in the business of dealing with a environmental contamination of likes we are experiencing and getting them here to Ghana to assist us working under the leadership of the EPA. After all 34 million lives are at stake, we don’t have time to be piloting, this is an extensional threat we are dealing with here….

If it works after $200,000,where do we get the billions of dollars from? And you and I know how much of the billions will end up in your pockets with the river bodies only partially clean.In this age of STEM,there should be a far cheaper and simpler method of purification.Sit up woman cause there is no Billions out there in the first place and non anywhere to steal anyways

let the NPP keep doing propaganda whilst genuine efforts are being made by this government to solve an issue that has been with us for ages. what are they going to campaign on when by the time 2028 comes the water bodies have been restored and galamsey reduced to the minimum? then we have the dumsor which has been eliminated alraedy! they should be working on policies as well as unity in their party not propaganda!!

What happened to all the money from gold? The best way and the first thing to do is to totally stop the galamsey. Then sue the perpetrators of galamsey, including the government, in court for billions of dollars to finance the clean-up and other problems caused by the galamsey, not to mention jail sentences for individuals responsible for this menace.

Instead of addressing the cause and source of the pollution, we are talking about purifying the water.

200k is a small change of Anglo Gold and Newmont budget. Wontumi can pay it for his big mouth.

Makes no sense. Spend the money preventing this illegal pollution rather than trying to use endless money after the crime has been committed to keep cleaning the water. This approach makes no sense. Get the money from the Chinese who are continually being mentioned doing galamsay and are seen at illegal sites. Get the kingpins arrested and raise the money from them. It is a total shame that government or private sector should come up with the money whilst others profit and rape the environment

if you have a solution, let Goldbod charge 1% levy of galamsay gold they buy to pay you $500,000 to clean up after them.

EPA is going to waste needed national resources on unsustainable preventative fight against river pollution. The best and sustainable approach is to stop the destruction of forest reserves farmlands and water bodies in the country. Why should the government sit down and allow illegal miners destroy our forest reserves farmlands and water bodies and then the same government will look for money to buy technology to fight against river pollution?

How do you even purify river Densu? This is pure smoke screen. You will do anything but stop the raging menace. Let’s call it what it is. This $200k nano B.S is just pure create loot and share.

The only thing that work in Ghana is procurement that the end product is shambolic. Hmmmm “procurement economy “. Someone has a cut( coefficient) in here, instead of preventing this environmental terrorism, the government is so passive in stopping it but rather will spend a lot of money on untested technology which only works in the lab but hasn’t been be tested on a flowing water.

AFRICA HAS INDEED WOKEN UP, BUT IT'S TIME TO GET OFF THE BED FOR ACTION AND DO SOMETHING PROGRESSIVE FOR HER CHILDREN.

AFRICA IS THE ONLY SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD and that is why the corrupt and greedy white man is always insecure and afraid of AFRICAN UNITY. Having advance weapons of mass destruction and technology does not make a country a SUPER POWER, but SELF RELIANCE does! AFRICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SELF RELIANT, but lacks the educational tactics for mentality change.

Is this being used in Greece to clean toxins and heavy metals from running rivers or this is tested in a stable, water tank, laboratory settings. The EPA boss must clarify, for the sake and respect of science in Ghana.

It’s like a paracetamol has been tested to cure a certain illness and it works and you’re saying you want to try if the same paracetamol can be used to cure the same sickness in another country.
I don’t get it.
