Really? Do you know what civil war is? Who are those going to fight that war? People are involved in illegal mining which is destroying livelihood, and a leader whose been in power fir 8 years did nothing to.moderate the side effects or stop it. Even ushered his relatives and friends into this illegal business , and you are talking about a civil war? Between ashantes and ewes? Really? Maybe between the beneficiaries, the julorbi house and wontumi!

In any case, is galamsey not going on even with regulations? Who doesn't know that there are complying small scale miners? What kind of empty-headed elders are these having voices in Ghana?

"Im mouth be gun?" I don't know the "Bishop" neither have I ever heard of him. Rather than abusing him, don't you think it's better to counter his doomsday scenario planning with your own ideas? Ghana is mostly a lawless country where people don't respect rules and regulations. Infact, in most cases the state/government and its institutions don't execute the laws of the country. If the galamsey menace was nibbed in the bud from the very beginning by the state, it wouldn't have assumed this deadly proportion.

This bishop direly needs an analytical brain but unfortunately he can't just go to the market and buy one. He's a massive disservice to his community and congregants

The Bible's way is the best for our development. It said we are to train a child how it should go; when he/she is old, he/she will not depart. The galamsey should have been nibbed in the bud at its infancy. We have a delicate situation and the government must tread carefully. We have many whose lives directly or indirectly are affected by the galamsey. The opposition is using the galamsey as an instrument to bring the government down. Note- The galamsey was when the NDC was in power.

I beg to differ. How can you put regulations in place without first banning it. You ban it then regulates it . So Whoever wants to go into it goes through proper laid down process. Now I blame this galamsey thing squarely on the president, why, b'cos when people started to point accusing fingers at some of the people at the presidency, he just ignored them. When the Ashanti regional chairman was stopped from mining in a certain forest reserve by the minister for lands, what did the president do. Nothing but rather came out to say the man has done nothing wrong. How can somebody who once said he will put his presidency on the line to fight galamsey, isn't he still at post. When so many letters were written to him about the galamsey creating a whole lot of problems, didn't he ignored them. This bishop talking about civil war if galamsey is banned is talking out of ignorance. Well maybe he hasn't seen war before and doesn't know what a civil war is. The question is who are those going to fight in that war , nobody is going to make that mistake. You create problem you create it for yourself. Say something better and stop that civil war thing.

Nonsense. Let it erupt. Its galamsey apologists like you across the country who continue to be giving legitimacy to to the galamsey criminals with the illegal conduct as well as their destruction of lands and polluting of rivers. There already exists laws outlawing illegal mining operations. These bastards are not only breaking the law, they also are destroying and contaminating lands while polluting waters that Ghanaians rely on for drinking and cooking. The government must arrest and prosecute to owners of galamsey operations. Shut down all galamsey operations.
