    This people take us for fools. Mr. minister, if you really want to fight galamsey, than start from your own constituency. That will show your level of seriousness.

    Nearly two years in power and this cry baby minister is still giving us promises. What happened to declaring a state of emergency as you promised in opposition. Incompetence everywhere!

    There is only one way to fight galamsey in Ghana. Every normal person knows this. It shouldn't take this country up to 1 week to completely eradicate galamsey. But the TRUTH HURTS and the truth is that there's no a fight agai ...

    The minister for lands and resources himself is a galamsey kingpin. Look at what's happening at his own backyard. All rivers in Elembelle, eg Ankobra, Amanzule, etc clearly expose him. Very wicked to his own people, he's also ...
