So you took it the way Mr Kuffour said it.Is just a metaphor,because people think you become rich when you do galamsey,but we all know that is not true.
No wonder some of you believe what the Bible says,that "one shouldn´t worry about tomorrow,because the Almighty God will take care of tomorrow for you"so most people in Ghana live for the day.Because they believe God will provide for them tomorrow.
This is exactly what Mr Kuffour meant,galamsey doesn`t make one rich,but people presume it does.By the way it is better one really do galamsey,than go into politics to steal the people`s money.

First of all, you don't even deserve to be upheld as a statesman. A whole former president of Ghana making this assertion - he has no respect for our God given environment that sustains our livelihood.

Kuffour, by supporting and encouraging illegal mining, galamsey, is by extension, supporting illegality and at the same time does not give a hoot about the wanton destruction, degradation and pollution of our environment, including our farmlands and rivers.

And he says what? Did he not get his first ministerial appointment in his twenties? Apart from politics, how can Kuffour genuinely account for the source of his immense wealth? He is a 'political thief', and the records are there to show so he should give us a break.

Who told you Ghanaian politicians enter politics to develop the country. Hell no! The main reason they enter politics is to line their pockets. They are all thieves.

All Ghanaian politicians, including Rawlings, Kuffour, Mahama and the whole gamut of their underlings are congenital THIEVES. Kuffour should not disturb our ears at all, for we know very well that it is mainly to steal the state's money nyafu, nyafu; left, right and centre to transform themselves into mega billionaires overnight without shedding a sweat that motivates them into entering politics.

This, Mr. Kuffour is the sad reality. This, Mr. Kuffour, is the incontrovertible fact you are intentionally closing your eyes to. Come again!

This is not to slight Ghana's best President in the 4th Republic, but Ghana under all Presidents in the 4th Republic, with the worst being the John Dramani Mahama and his family and friends looting brigade have turned politics into "illegal galamsey", hence the rush by the babies with sharp pronged teeth to do everything at all cost, to go into politics to steal the national purse bonkers.
Make politics a truly public service endeavor and reward ingenuity, knowledge, innovation in the sciences, technology, research, industry, entrepreneurship and see young people re-focus and re-direct their attention to such endeavors, which are the drivers of growth and development and the future sustenance of any serious world economy. In the absence of that, we get the situation we have now, where diaper-wearing pissing toddlers all see politics as a galamsey business to riches and wealth.
Clearly, the John Mahama NDC gov't with it's family and friends, babies with sharp pronged teeth looting brigade, have turned politics, an institution for public service and for the promotion of the greater public good and purpose, into an illegal galamsey project of unmatched and unrestrained illegal galamsey aka thievery project, leading to the total collapse of the country.
The Flagstaff House is now akin to the cave in which Ali Baba and the forty thieves utter the magical words open sesame, to gain entry into the grotto of every and all things galamsey/thievery.
This is the cause of Ghana and most an African nation's collapse, political illegal galamsey of gargantuan and unprecedented mindboggling and brutally dangerous thievery, what we describe as the upside down approach to development which in the truest sense of the word is actually retrogression and stagnation, Ghana being a classic example of such a "galamsey" policy and approach to governance and leadership in this country.
The only way out of such a quagmire being the complete and massive firing of the Mahama NDC gov't at the ballot box in 2016 and the overhauling and restructuring of the system to make politics what it is truly supposed to be, for the promotion of the greater public good and not a galamsey business to riches.

Rev Kuffuor a Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age doing Galamasey.

The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute.? Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

"Efo Kwaku Canada", you're among the most ignorant and uninformed contributors on this issue. You're a sad lot indeed for seeing Kufuor as a saint! Surely, you and your ilk must have personally benefited from President Kufuor's looting of Ghanaian coffers while he was the President.

Because you're apparently ignorant and stupid, let me educate you about one thing. When former President Rawlings openly challenged reputable institutions, like the American CIA and the FBI, to expose him if he was corrupt and stole and stashed his country's money in private accounts anywhere, both foreign and local, those institutions found nothing. In fact, the CIA lauded him and indicated that he was the only African leader who hadn't done any such thing. They didn't say any such thing about President Kufuor. Indeed, the latter's looting of Ghanaian coffers was well known to many people. That was the only reason why he didn't win the Mo Ibrahim award soon after his presidential terms expired. Indeed, the late President Atta Mills had sent a delegation to the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, with evidence of some of Kufuor's corruption, urging it not to give him the award.

By the way, by adopting the name "Efo Kwaku" to give the impression that you're an Ewe only confirms your stupidity and ignorance, because you're clearly not an Ewe. You can fool only yourself and your ilk.

Mr. President, are you really serious? Why are you being so hypocritical? Were you not extremely poor to the extent that you couldn't even sometimes purchase petrol for your car, or you couldn't fix it when it broke down, before you entered politics and immediately became filthy rich? Do you think the youth are not watching politicians like you, how you and your family members quickly made it big and have become millionaires in your societies and in the country?

Please, remember it is your very role the youth are modelling; so please stop throwing dust into Ghanaians' eyes by your hypocrisy. Ghanaians know you too well!

To be truthful to the readers. I knew the former President , JAK if not very well before he became the President of this great nation Ghana. I first met JAK in Ehie a town in the Ketu North district of the great Volta region . Mr. JAK came to Ehie with other party members which I can't recall now in August 2000 to pay their condolence to a colleague party member who passed away. About just 4 months to the 2000 general elections which JAK will be contesting on the ticket of the NPP, they used the opportunity to campaign for the party. Interestingly they including former president distribute a box of match containing 12 of the smaller boxes to the people gathered . The most interesting part of my story was that, one of the vehicle brought ie an old nissan pickup refused to spark. To let you know this old nissan pickup was pushed to enable the engine got started . Former pres Kuffour got into power and what didnt we see ?? I leave answer to you . After he left power what didn't he demand from the country. ?? You know it. After just 8 years as president what can't we see or hear ?? Now about his comment about politics , money making and galamsey. Should galamsey be the best example and option to give his listeners and the entire country ?? Either his 76 years or his guilt and inferior complex is disturbing the old man . I think he should come back and clear the airwaves before Ghanaians start pouring "fire" on him.

Imagine Rawlings made that speech ? Thank God the untouchable Kuffuor,s boat is now running aground. Foolish talk after enriching yourself from politics. Why did,nt you send your own children to the galamsey pits instead of giving them Oxford and Cambridge university education ? I expected a man of your calibre to help the downtrodden with some of the money you looted from the state coffers before handing over power. Instead, you keep smashing the young girls,s pussies with the ill acquired wealth and telling who to do galamsey. Ya mad.

Instead of saying sensible things someone stupid is insulting Akans.Stop your hatred for Akans because you wont gain anything.

Former Prez Kufour is right. Many are into politics bcos of money. They should leave our country's money n go to galamsey.
