No, Sammy is wrong. How do you expect gold searchers to be rational? The lady's submission is clear and reasonable; people can't desecrate everywhere around the countryside like headless idiots just for Sammy Gyamfi to achieve his business targets. That is undisciplined, lawless, unpatriotic and stupidity on a huge scale.

When you so destroy the country, would you glean enough gold so you could to turn around and identify where to repair? The lady makes so much sense, just go back and reread her sound advice.

GOLDBOD should be ashamed of their plan. We at this time stand imminently on the brink of collapse. We can see how stressful, overwhelming and uncertain this Sammy Gyamfi news carry.
This country is on the edge and we all have to feel a sense of deep anxiety as to the acceleration of our land and water destruction.
It's time for every good citizen to feel consumed by this evil galamsey and the news that this young Sammy Gyamfi has plans to accelerate destruction of our vegetation, land, and rivers and our MPs are quiet and numb.
Soon there will be no steady ground that would be available and everything would
crumble in.
Can we be able to reverse the direction Cocobod, our MPs, and the administration is proceeding relating to illegal mining?

Ghana Geological Survey has been crisscrossing the country mapping out gold areas ie, doing exactly what Vaah thinks should be done.

Main culprits Goldbod Rand Refinery
We the improved success of NAIMOS the gold dealers are struggling to provide Goldbod required volumes.In the refining business you are forced to deliver fixed volume weekly monthly.
Main reason forced 30 per cent from Big miners at a discount.This creates a disincentive for big miners to increase production
If pressure is put on Rand Refinery they will buckle to verify all sources of gold.
Pressure come Ng and gold price sliding.Currently less than 4000USD.
Let's pray Trump ends his nonsense
We lost opportunity to start lithium mining due to divisive politics Currently prices very high.NPP NDC destroying Ghana
Community mining now Cooperative mining
Big miners withhold investment into exploration and increasing production in Ghana
Only Chinese would come in because they know we can't bully them
Mine workers poor due to contract workers bungle by MinCOM.No plan for critical minerals and Salt mining in Ghana
Soso Gold only we need to expand our gold industry and mine other minerals in Ghana for real development.

Regulators in the mines and environmental space has been politicized.NPP NDC politics.
If connected to ruling party get Scot free from mining and environmental breaches.
Go to Prestea Bogoso and see how mining is done underground still flooded and tailings dam compliance Inspectors always putting pressure on other miners to comply.
Whole sector baasaa just like country.
Cry my beloved country
Goldbod just interested in Gold no matter source.Future generations and us suffering now due to the scourge of illegal Mining ASM regulations exist already only problem is enforcement
Ghana has only the laws but enforcement the problem Only Wontumi prosecuted. Other king pins and Chinese walking free
Environmental laws not working just selective application.

MM! The leaders in this country are only common sense individualities. How come in Europe, their only mineral is COAL, yet very developed. There is COAL in Ghana including uncountable mineral resources. Yet Ghana is poor due sub standards of the nation’s leadership. They are poor in reasoning.
Gold Coast with only Standard 3, and later Standard 7 supporting the administration was the richest in Africa. Now technocrats; Numerous graduates; Ghanaian Professors are everywhere in the world yet very poor. Due to poor leadership nothing else.
From the onset, Nkrumah was good. As a human being his mistakes were communism ideology and later became power drunk. Though the population was not that high he did his best. Busia would have done a lot. At his tenure of office Nixon, Busia’s class mate was American President. He promised Ghana everything. He sent his wife to Ghana to know if our needs. The Lady came to meet the coup against Busia’s Government. At that same time of Busia, a student he taught at Oxford was the Prime Minister of Japan. He promised Ghana everything, but the coup......
Since then Ghana has never experienced wisdom leadership again. Common sense leaderships had ruined the nation where the subjects are the victims. Everyday, everywhere rejected in different countries.
Free secondary education and numerous universities are good. Without jobs that same good thing would ruin the nation. Not employed every one is importer, foreigners come to import depending upon foreign money which is scarce is weakening the economy.
Incentives; beautiful package to entice some into farming instead Galamsey. Surface mining is a worse thing ever to be introduced in a nation. Yet due to common sense and greediness......NO POLICY
MM! Little said is enough; lests caterpillars be dispatched to fetch the ant in Rambo style opérations.

The point is that we have gold and thousands of unemployed youth so Sammy Gyamfi's proposal to formalise eligible galamseyers is brilliant. I don't believe he is by this saying that people can mine irresponsibly in rivers and reserved forest zones. Galamsey has been there since ancient times and will continue.Lets get them all to register so they can be properly monitored.

The youth do not have jobs because of mismanagement of all administration's. Money is concentrated in a few hands. You sound too stupid to believe that the youth's economy relies on galamsey.
