GHANA NEEDS A MILITARY COUP:
THE POLITICIANS HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY cannot STOP THE GALAMSEY !! FROM RAWLINGS, KUFFOUR, MILLS, AKUFFO-ADDO TO MAHAMA, THEY HAVE ALL FAILED! THEY HAVE ALL FAILED TO TAKE CONCRETE ACTION TO END THE MENACE OF GALAMSEY !!
THERE ARE TOO MANY HIGH-RANKING VESTED INTERESTS IN THE GALAMSEY PLUNDER……..
POLITICIANS, CHIEFS, BUSINESSMEN & WOMEN AND ASSORTED CRIMINAL ELEMENTS.
ORDINARY GHANAIANS WILL INCREASINGLY SUFFER (AND DIE !!) FROM THE EFFECTS OF GALAMSEY IF FIRM ACTION IS NOT TAKEN FAST.
ANY BRAVE SOLDIERS OUT THERE? YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU! COME AND KICK OUT THESE CRIMINAL INCOMPETENTS AND SAVE YOUR MOTHERLAND! SHOOT THOSE SCUMBAGS (‘GALAMSEYERS’) WHO HAVE PUT THEIR PERSONAL GREED ABOVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF GHANA AND GHANAIANS! WE NEED SOLDIERS IN THE MOULD OF IBRAHIM TRAORE (OF BURKINA FASO) AND PAUL KAGAME (OF RWANDA). MOTHER GHANA NEEDS YOU TO SAVE HER…..!!

At least, there is an effort to reduce or stop galamsey. A lot has been done with a short while, and if we continue the way we're doing now, I believe, we'll be somewhere. If we had tried the way we're doing now, eight years ago, the damage would t have been so much. Galamsey was not as it is now. We had our water bodies and forest reserves. The past 8 years have been galamsey years, be honest with yourself.

There's mining going on under the guise of a licensed small scale in the Merewa forest reserve in the Bibiani Ahwianso Bekwai municipality which Ogyeahowo Nana Yaw Gyebi, the president of the nat'l house of chiefs is aware of. I therefore urge NAIMOS to take notice and act swiftly. Charles Acheampong, Sefwi Humjibre in the western north region.

Nana Addo was the worst president in Ghana’s history. He allowed so much damage to be done to our cherished country, our rivers and environment.

Another greedy president with majority will come and change it! What instrument must be in place to restrict all presidents and parliaments totally from this?
Or we give power to all regional houses of chiefs to protect our resources from being polluted. Brainstorming on this is critical now

Can you imagine - issuing licenses to mine in Forest Reserves ??? It just didn’t make sense.

A purely evil, illiterate and very mentally backward idea by the last government.
