  More than that. They're interested in keeping the status quo. Their lavish livestyles flow through this illegality. Have you ever tried taking meat from the jaws of a hungry hyena? To them ( offcials ), the flourishing economic activity is the bulging gold gifts they get in exchange for indifference and silence.

  This is what happens when we become too dependent on the government - we become unable to deal with our day to day problems/challenges without some government intervention. We saw the same paralysis with the Fulani cattles destroying farms.
  
  Government in Ghana is ineffective and inefficient. Relying too much on government means that nothing will get done.

  Sensible contribution. I like it. If a policeman is not close by and you come under attack, don't you defend yourself until the police come to your aid? Some Ghanaians want the government to put even drinking water in their throats when they are thirsty. Let them sit down and starve while waiting for the government because they voted for NDC. This is stupid,Aren't men and women in the town? Don't thet have one Sgt. Adjetey and one Yaa Asantewaa in the town? Oooh!! Ghana.

  THE FARMERS AT MBAA MPE OHIA ARE ALSO INVESTORS, WHO HAVE INVESTED TIME AND MONEY IN THEIR FARMS. IF IT WERE A MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANY, WHOSE CONCESSION WERE UNDER SUCH A THREAT THE LOCAL AUTHORITY WOULD HAVE DISPATCHED THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY TO THE AREA WITH UTMOST ALACRITY. I AM ASHAMED BY THE ATTITUDE OF THE DCE AND REGIONAL MINISTER. MR PRESIDENT SEND THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY IMMEDIATELY. THE BUCK STOPS AT YOUR DESK. BEST REGARDS.

  If they're illegally minning and chase these poor folks from helping with the food chain, what stops them from looting their foodstuff when they get hungry? The big shots just go and get their share of the loot plus whatever food they can get their dirty hands on. Better in one scoope than going to the market place to spend some of their loot.
