The amount of monies that have been pushed into Galamsey after the 2024 elections is massive. The attraction was the belief that John Mahama has no interest to stop illegal mining .There foreigners engage in this.

Nonsense. When did they start buying galamsey gold? Under Akuffo Addo or recently. But I thought you guys were complaining about Goldbod buying galamsey gold, with no proof, I might add.

Yes he is complicit being 9 months in power. The one who has been in power 8 years where galamsey strived were not complicit I guess- to you. Continue being at NPP - you don’t think much just your chairman wuntumi.

NPP as a political party has nothing to offer Ghanaians, just JANDAM. And when they win power through JANDAM too, like in 2016, they waste everybody's time like they did in 2016. After Ghanaians came to realize NPP as a JANDAM party, they seem to be now recruiting and HIRING prominent persons in smaller political parties to do JANDAM for them as part of the new JANDAM strategy. These people have no love for the country. They would rather see all of us suffer and die than to see us happy under a government that is not theirs. Ghanaians be aware of this party called NPP, even if not for your sake butt for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We must not forget what they did to all of us in the last 8 years.

Taking place under the noses of government officials, some of whom are complicit in this illegality. While this may not be completely eradicated, the level can be brought down drastically. Starts with conducting more searches on passengers traveling on airlines transiting through Middle Eastern countries in particular. About certain 5 airlines in particular. And some of these passengers use the VVIP Lounge to check in their luggage.

Sir, we all due respect, Ghana has been the hub of money laundering from day one of Kufuor's rule. Cast your mind back, when did rich Nigerians started to come to Ghana to stay? When did the drug boom started? When did we start seeing expensive cars on our streets? Not forgotten the real estate boom when land in Accra started selling in dollars? Start investigating and auditing all the plush houses at East Legon, high rise buildings at Cantonments and you will get an idea of what I am talking about.

LET ME MAKE ANOTHER WILD ALLEGATION:- Several reports indicate that a terrorist group (coming through Togo and Burkina) are responsible for buying most of the illegal gold to fund their operations. You will be a fool to believe this without seeing the Hello Yulia, Please find the attached Hello Yulia, Please find the attached report.

It will not be difficult for international mafia to get a strong foothold in the country because Ghanaians in general love cheap money, money they have not worked for. Just bribe them , from ordinary person on the street to the head of state, and you can get your way in the country. Once the mafias infiltrate the government, the country is doomed.

Get away. That is non of Ghana's business so long as they pay all the taxes and do not smuggle the gold out of the country. Do you know how much of Ghana's money is laundered in Europe and the white man is doing nothing about it though they are aware? If an Italian Mafia is laundering money and the country is benefiting what is the big deal?
