BAN ON CHANGFAN MACHINE

JUST SAYING YOU BAN CHANGFAN MACHINE IS NOT PUNITIVE ENOUGH. TO SAY YOU BAN CHANGFAN MACHINE WITHOUT PUNITIVE ACTION WITHOUT JAIL TERM IS LIKE A JOKE. GET ALL GHANAIANS INVOLVE BY PUTTING ASIDE A RANSOM FOR PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE INDULGE IN THE LOCAL MANUFACTURE OR IMPORTATION OF THIS CHANGFAN MACHINES. WITHOUT PUTTING IN THIS MEASURES YOU ARE JUST JOKING AND THROWING DUST INTO OUR EYES.

This is a stupid decision by the EPA. The kinpins behind Galamsey activities are well known but officialdom is afraid to apprehend them. The Changfan is another form of the sluice box. Can you ban the Changfan and not ban the sluice box? Fools indeed in power.

Nonsensical action! We need a total ban, no caveats. Is this a ban or one needs permission from EPA?

Another stupid avenue to enrich EPA Officials who give permits to chanfan users.

Who told EPA chanfan is only used for galamsey? I use chanfan on my farm to produce food for these same idiots calling for it's ban. These are novices who obviously have no clue what they are saying.

Good obe there. This tells you how the EPA missed the plot. Chanfa engine is a model engine used to power a lot of equipment. Examples include drill rigs for soil investigations for building projects, agricultural equipment etc. Chanfa should be banned for it use on good processing machines on rivers.

Jesus Christ! What money are these Galamsayers looking for? Do they have the ability to live forever? Educate the population to stop respecting guys with this kind of dirty wealth and they themselves will stop it.Ghanaians just respect any type of money,why these nation wreckers think they are important people in the society.All Galamsayers will rot in hell at the appropriate time.

It’s a good step. Please make sure it is enforced.

THERE SHOULD BE NO CHANFAN ON ANY OF OUR RIVERS OR WATERBODIES.

Please EPA, go to atiwa en route to Kumasi. You will see welding shops producing Changfang almost every time I pass by.
This is a good way to end the pollution of water bodies.
Let's try to enforce this.

A step in the right direction, however I propose that this policy be backed by law sanctioned by Parliament. Offenders can then be punished also people cannot go back to it when there's a change in government.

Long overdue. Go further. Stop its importation to Ghana. Any such equipment seen anywhere in the country must be seized by the Police. Can we do this?

Hey, we need it for construction work ooo. Like block cutting machines that are not on grid. I will say those who use it for illegal things should prosecuted not just a blatant ban
