A country where decentralisation is not deep enough these are some of the challenges you will face. A country where MMDCES are appointed rather than elected so the people can't really Subject those leaders to account to them but only to their appointing authorities. Most people shouting about some of these issues were all in this country when the government proposed a referendum on the people electing their local leaders but what happened? They looked on aloof for the process to be poisoned and down the drain it went and no one spoke about it again! These issues will continue to fester until some of these decentralisation structures are changed!

I remember Nana Addo tried bringing up laws whereby the assembly people would be voted upon. We all said no. Now here's where we are.

Oooh mother Ghana, when will our leaders learn. They always shifts blame and go scort free with it. What is the mandate of the minerals commission? Only stupid and dumb people are appointed into these state institutions to steal and enrich themselves. Their days are numbered.

We will continue to make excuses until we have no country left. Galamsey will eventually destroy Ghana. We love money more than we love ourselves. We are killing ourselves and we are yet to realise it. What are the chemicals used to mine the gold? Is mercury one of those chemicals, that will end up in water for us to drink? Holes are dug underneath our homes. The government needs to do something. Tax them heavily and classify it as a sin tax. Here is a Bible quote "For the Love of money, my people perish". That is what Ghana has become.

Our elected officers are criminals. How can people be allowed to act with impunity. So there is no authority in Ghana to stop these greedy criminals?
We are really pathetic. A few greedy criminals are allowed to bring a major government project to a halt? USELESS LEADERSHIP. So no one has power to immediately arrest these criminals? Minerals commission, you are pathetic. So you can't excalate this for prompt resolution rather than this nonsense - 'WE CAN'T BE BLAMED'Enough said.

May I ask some few questions?
1 Who gave out the land for the galamsey
2 Is the chief, the MCE, the assembly men of the area aware
of what is going on
3. Are the political leaders in the area not aware
If any of them are involved they must be punished most especially the chief, the MCE and the mineral commission.

I’m surprised though Mr. Ayisi, you passed through Akeem Asafo, Osino, Anyinam and the rest of the towns on the Akyem stretch , you didn’t see the galamsey by the road side. Now the locally made chamfer or whatever they call it is being sold by the road side at osino and anyinam. Because of your pockets, you encouraged galamsey, now you’re crying

Thought the President boldly said he will put his job on the line so far as the issues related to Galamsey was concerned.

What has changed because I see that Galamsey is out of control and he still occupies the Presidency?
