  So there's no monitoring mechanism in place and had to rely on some media outlet. Put in a reward scheme for whistle blowers. A tiny percentage of the total value. This is not rocket science now.

  SAMMY GYAMFI, YOU SHOULD BE CRACKING DOWN ON ANGLOGOLD, NEWMONT AND OTHER BIG TIME GOLD MINERS. NOT POOR GHANAIANS.
  
  THESE MULTINATIONAL MINING COMPANIES PRESENCE IN GHANA HAS NEVER MADE ANY BETTER DIFFERENCE TO GHANA'S UNDERDEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC WOES.
  
  THE ONLY BENEFICIARIES OF THEIR PRESENCE IN GHANA ARE THE MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES AND GHANA'S CORRUPT POLITICIANS.
  
  VISIT ALL THE GOLD AND DIAMONDS MINING AREAS ACROSS GHANA, AND YOU WILL BE IN SHOCK TO SEE THAT ALL OF THOSE AREAS ARE STILL VILLAGES AND HAMLETS LACKING IN EVERY BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE. THEN ASK YOURSELF WHERE ALL THE ROYALTIES THEY'VE PAYING TO GHANA'S LEADERS OVER THE YEARS GO TO. I BET THE ROYALTIES ARE LOOTED.
  
  ROYALTIES ARE FUNDS PAID BY THE MULTINATIONAL MINING COMPANIES TO GHANA GOVERNMENT FOR PROVIDING MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT TO THOSE MINING AREAS AND ALSO MAKING GOOD THE ECOSYSTEM DAMAGE CAUSED BY DECADES OF MINING ACTIVITIES IN THOSE AREAS BY THOSE MULTINATIONAL MINING COMPANIES. THOSE ROYALTIES ARE OBVIOUSLY LOOTED BY SUCCESSIVE GHANA POLITICIANS AND OTHER GHANA LEADERS.
  
  AKWATIA WAS A DIAMONDS MINING AREA FOR YEARS. PRESTEA AND OTHER VILLAGES ARE STILL GOLD MINING AREAS, BUT ALL OF THOSE AREAS ARE STILL VILLAGES AND HAMLETS TO THIS DAY WITHOUT A SINGLE FUNCTIONAL MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE TO MODERN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRY STANDARDS TO THIS DAY.
  
  SAMMY GYAMFI, CHASE THE MULTINATIONAL GOLD AND DIAMOND COMPANIES OUT, AND LEAVE THE BANKRUPT POOR GHANAIANS ALONE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
