So you're saying they should take all the illigal monies they've made to their country and enjoy but for the locals who they employed must suffer imprisonment. This stupidity of the highest order.

These people scammed Ghanaians and now we have to live with this reality. Aisha Huang on my mind. So will Ghanaians in galamsey be deported too ? Hmmm

Enough of the talk on galamsey . Do you even have laws against galamsey? If you do just enforce the laws. You are just re-phrasing words regarding your intentions to stop galamsey but you have not acted . Action speaks louder than words. Foreigners are not the problem. The problem rests with Ghanaians because they give out the land to the foreigners to do galamsey . Enough of the words.

Galamsey, gained international recognition under NDC so, there is nothing NDC will do about the carnage that will sit well with me. There is no sense in willfully destroying something that is very dear to Ghanaians then later try to fix it.

NDC is very dangerous. It was under their watch that Aisha Huang became a "Household name in Ghana", and she dared the then Mahama government to arrest her, and was she arrested?

At whose expenses, the should be jailed and after deportation, that is when I will be convinced that the government is serious, other than that I will never take the NDC Government serious.

What is „ foreigners engaged in GALAMSEY will be deported“? What about Ghanaians engaged in GALAMSEY? Will they be deported too ? If yes, but to which country? A Ghanaian illegal miner will go to jail and a foreign GALAMSEYer will be deported. Is the minister serious at all? My expectation was automatically that these foreigners will be jailed before their deportation. When they are jailed before the deportation proceedings, Ghanaians may see the true picture of GALAMSEY management in Ghana. The sponsors of GALAMSEY will be exposed.

This is senseless, prosecute or deport? Do you have skeletons in your cardboard or what?

Ah Mr Okudzeto, you too saying this, I am highly disappointed in the way serious issues are being handled by you politicians.

Can a Ghanaian go to China and misbehave and get away with it? What are you afraid of? Be inspired by Ibrahim Traore, a no-nonsense man who has the balls to stand up against the powers that be even at the risk of his life.

VERY LAUGHABLE---very shameful to hear this pronouncement from Government-
if any seriousness is to be attached to ENDING the GALAMSEY MENANCE ---the only way to STOP this existential threat is to enact a LAW BANNIG any form of SMALL SCALE MINING venture in the country --both legal and illegal must be halted for a foreseeable period until the Agricultural land and water bodies regain an unpolluted state .--VIOLATION must attract severe PENALTY even DEATH sentence by FIRING SQUAD ---if government id serious -the ONUS is on PARLIAMENT to enact such a LAW
Let us be serious --in the ASIAN TIGER NATIONS and CHINA ---drug [NARCOTIC ] Trafficking attracts such severe PENALTY and --it works ---very deterrent . LET US be serious ----LET THE GOLD REMAIN in the ground undisturbed ----Small scale mining can never be the only work /occupation to be engaged in.---This GALAMSEY CALAMITY killing us ALL slowly and softly must be tacked with an urgrncy, LET PARLIAMENT PASS A LAW.

How do we stop them re-entering considering our porus borders and corrupt officials?They just come up with this bogus idea to con Ghanaians into believing that they are doing something to stop galamsey.

Why only deport? They will come and devastate our lands and water bodies and all they get is deportation? What then will serve as a deterrent to others? We cannot build a law abiding country like that. No way!
