Ghanaians are so *@&#ing stupid. In 20 years time Ghana will have no clean water, no forests, no wildlife and an epidemic of mercury poisoning, so that a few leaders and officials can pocket some small Cedis. Disgraceful!

This is yet another example of the total failure of our Forestry Commission.

How long do we have to wait and endure the continued assault on, and loss of, our Forests?

We could deport all foreigners engaged in illegal operations to exploit our Natural Resources. But if we fail to clamp down on our local culprits we will not make any dent in the efforts to save our Resources. After all, it is the local culprits who invite the foreigners in or sell to them the stolen produce.

Wake up Ghana!! Wake up all true patriots to save our diminishing Forests!! Our officials seem to have tossed out the principle of Sustainability in managing our Resources out of the window.

Long live Ghana!!!

Every point you enunciate is true and - above all - known to the authorities! So what remains to be done is complete enforcement. The problem of illegal mining is, however, a symptom of a larger cause - unemployment.

Beginning with the violent end of the first republic, thousands of state farms were shut down. Later these farm lands were either looted or illegally sold. Next the entire state-owned industrial complex and enterprises set up by Nkrumah were systematically destroyed, looted or sold under fraudulent circumstances by the P/NDC regime. These two tragic actions are the major causes of unemployment in Ghana, worsened by the lack of any appreciable creation of jobs in the private sector. The "gargantuan" unemployment situation is a time bomb catching up with our corrupt ruling class. "Galamsey", with all its evils: incursion into and depletion of the forest reserves, environmental degradation, especially poisoning of water bodies with toxic chemicals, rendering of farming land unusable...is the poor man's solution to the crisis of unemployment.

Government can, however, see an opportunity in this crisis. Organization of unemployed rural youth into farming cooperatives with active government support could definitely be one way to go.
