Nobody should forget that this same Asantehene claims to so powerful that he isnt subject to our constitution, yet claims he is powerless to stop galamsey--something that the chiefs of the Volta Region have done. Make that make sense.

We are talking about a chief who owns mansions in South Africa, Maryland, UK, etc. He also has a desire to own his own private jet. Tell me this evil man isnt at the top of the galamsey food chain.

Otumfuo does not control the security agencies so how come some ignorant people expect him to enforce laws against galamsey? What are the military and the police doing? So I’m asking the president and his ministers, have the galamseyers become more powerful than our soldiers and the police? Please president Mahama what prevents you from enforcing the laws against galamsey? Please let us know.

Otumfuor please, some of us respect you a lot, but when it comes to galamsey, I'll prefer you not to talk at all as you've been doing for the past eight years under your friend's rule. In 2016, before the change of government, our rivers and water bodies were very clean, and mining licences that has been issued were 99, from 1992 (Rawlings) through to (Mahama) 2016. Your friend, the corrupt devil, took over in Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2024 and the mining licences issued were 2,122. Not only that - he told Ghanaians "Party hia sika" Otumfuor, that's when we were all surprised that you couldn't say anything about galamsey. Our waters started turning brownish yellow with cyanide. Still you were quiet. What has changed. Is it because it's Mahama and the NDC? Because for eight good years, you were so quiet on galamsey. Pls, just keep remaining quiet.

But statement tells it all -"I CAN'T SEE WHY WE CANNOT TAKE UP THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY UNLESS WE ARE *COMPLICIT*" That concludes the issue. You could have used the same energy you to talk about LAND GUARDS in the Ashanti region to talk about galamsey. S3bio, Nana, don't pretend. Just say "I will destool any chief who allows galamsey on his land". That will show your real commitment.

Over the years, successive governments have benefited from the exports and royalties from these mining areas. Some of the children of these politicians have gained employment with big mining firms in these country located in the mining areas but let's pause to ask ourselves, what have the locals benefited from God given natural resources in their localities. Locals eyes clear. Now if you take the military, police and other services, they will all join. What we need now is dialogue and creating avenues for the locals to mine. Any use of force will could be counted with massive resistance and response from the locals... The current strategy will not work

China is heavily behind. Because they believed all you Ghanaian leaders are extremely foolish and stupid especially the custodians of the land who called their greedy hopeless souls chiefs or so called King. What a shame. China is behind the destruction of our land and even Northern Nigeria.

The council of chiefs can make it a traditional no no.
That can slow the practice as the government finds ways not to make it illegal but regulate it (in the context of environmental reclamation).

Nana please, with due respect you hold respect even more than the President. Get involved in banning the evil galamassey. If you call all the Chiefs under your Kingdom and warn them to fight galamassey in their jurisdiction or you will destool them Nana within one month galamassey will not be found in Ashanti region. Because it's the Chiefs and the Assembly members they are all behind it.

Selective arrest and prosecution would not help stop galamsey
Just compare the bail terms of NDC MP and Wontumi’s bail terms

Thanks! Nana. This galamsey issue has exposed Our Leaders. We have come to know these current crop of leaders are actually not leaders. They are greedy people who have styled themselves as leaders because of their greediness, their stomach and what they will get. When I see that some is now vying a presidential position as see him as nothing. Our nation is being......., destroying and they are interested in vying for position to become president. Become President for what? In fact, these politicians don't deserve our votes.

Otumfour can and should do more to stop Galamsey in his territory. Why should chamfang machines be sold in Anwia Nkwanta, a few mile from Kumasi on the way to Obuasi? Why should the Queen mother of Akrokerri be an alleged kingpin of a site near her palace. The entire Manso area and Tontokrom are toxic dumps? Why?
I am sure Otumfour is aware but focuses on grand durbers while losing his territories to criminals.

That’s useless criticism. Who controls the security of this country? The king controls the chiefs under his jurisdiction so it’s in record that those who were complicit in this galamsey business have been destooled by the king. The king’s palace doesn’t control the military barracks and the other security headquarters, but the president of Ghana as the commander in chief. Leave the king alone. One day when the military is in power some of you guys should be brought to justice.

President Mahama, listen to the people of Ghana, do the things right at the right time. The king has indirectly spoken to you, Mr. President. He loves you as a leader. Lawmakers are involved in GALAMSEY, what is the president saying? Now the king can no longer keep his mouth shut. Why is the president having problems with a state of emergency? The people of Ghana urged the president to put a ban on GALAMSEY but the president said no, so what is the use of Article 1 in the constitution? Who is sovereign? The president? The people? Or what? Say NO to Colombia and Haiti style in Ghana!

The threat is not against the citizens but Chief tency institutions aswell. Time will come even within the Ashanti Region ... Galamsayers will decide who becomes a chief. If we don't curtain the menace of their activities.

The kind of arms these guys are accumulating you have no idea. When that US major who was arrested by FBI in dealing with guns smuggling in Ghana, whom do think he was selling to to?

A Society full of Selfish interest without the country at heart. Soon most of the chiefs in those mining areas will take instructions from the Galamsayers kin pins either you obey their rules or they distool you. The gangs culture from Latin America and Italy is a clear example. We are sitting on a huge bomb, soon it will explode

The Asantehene is the overlord of all lands in the Ashanti region and he can be very instrumental in the fight against galamsey by ordering his sub-chiefs to clamp down on the practice. Unfortunately his sub chiefs are the ones engaged in galamsey since they give land to these galamseyers to operate in. Some of these chiefs even sell the same land to more than one person. If the Asantehene should declare that he will not entertain galamsey in the Asantehene region , this menace will definitely stop in that region.

Let the Army take the fight to them & let see if any Chief will come out to say ooooo stop .
Declare a war against them & let see if any will survive.

Was President Mahama not ashamed when Asantehene said that he deceived Ghanaians for votes when he promised to stop galamsey if he won the 2024 elections ?Galamsey has rather become worst under his watch Infact he has become complicit in the environmental menace going on in the country and therefore has no moral right to prosecute other people engaged in galamsey. He has failed to seek the warefare of Ghanaians and should be forced to resign
All sectors of the Ghanaian economy should lay down their tools for one week to force him to declare a state of emergency or resign He cannot enrich himself to the detriment of Ghanaians.

The chiefs can stop it. Unfortunately they are involved and are making millions from it.
How can chiefs who are so involved in selling land to make money stop galamsey? It will not happen.

Any politician who obstructs the fight against galamsey, must be put aside. Ghana is in a war from within, and we need to see it as such.
