I tend to agree with Create, loot and share. The leaders you name is why this is not treated like a crisis.

Of all the influential leaders in this country, Chiefs should be leading the charge in stopping this menace. We're talking about a natural resource that is critical for human beings to survive.

Where are Chiefs???

*" NANA ADDO SHOULD ACT FASTER ON GALAMSEY ACTIVITIES AND ILLEGAL CUTTING OF TIMBERS IN OUR FORESTS"*

This galamsey thing, can't Nana just issue orders for their arrest, prosecution and jail term by BNI, police and military men? Should Chinese and some evil indigenes continue to destroy the forest and waterbodies, finish it before we act, haaba? Every river in this country has been destroyed under our watch as a nation mostly by NDC and its previous governance. We are in power now and are quite to see the lands being destroyed too under our watch at the detriment of not too distant future? Why should some people take advantage on the masses to import water into the country and reel in undesirable sales while we have good waterbodies to drink from but destroying our waters? Should it be that? I have travelled in many parts of the country particular in the south. It is just an eyesore how the forests zone is being destroyed especially the largest forest in Ghana at a village called Asumura near Goaso stretching to Cote D'voire border in Bono Ahafo Region has been destroyed. Water bodies dried up abruptly to the extend of farmers sending sachet water to their farms! It just a shame!

We said we want to plant for food and jobs, but the very forest environment which assist in crop plantation, growth and production are being destroyed. Galamseyers are destroying this particular lands we claim to use as agricultural production" planting for food and jobs" and poisoning them which will consequently affect the food crops we plant, produce and eat. In effect, our numerous health problems which shouldn't be because we have a good land to plant and eat the best of natural foods than to import food or plant but suffer unknown diseases because of food poisoning from plantation, harvesting to it's consumption. NDC are cabal of thieves and we are here to correct the mess of our dear nation and these evil activities NDC superintendent over. Ghanaians voted for us to redeem, we have been quite after being in government for almost 3months but have done nothing about it.

We must act right now to redeem these water bodies for our own good. We need potable water to drink always and food for our livelihood. If these waters are being destroyed, we are in power now and doing nothing about it, won't it be additional cost on the purse we want to protect by importing water very soon into the country? Are we still not going to import food into the country as Mahama and NDC did while we have the best of land for food crop plantation and production?

The forest and water bodies act as a good source of causing regular rains on our tropical lands to help in our daily activities and livelihood. As at 1945, Ghana had 8.4million hectares of rich natural forests. As at now, it has reduced to just 500thousand and rapidly going down because of illegal cutting of timber logs from the forests and galamsey activities. As a tropical zone, constant and regular rains have refused to fall in its due seasons every year continuously for over 3years because of all these things.

Should we kill ourselves from our known negligence and desperate connivance as there are leaders to see to the welfare of this? Why should foreigners like the Chinese take advantage on us because of some selfish peoples underhand dealings? Should they destroy our resources, take our gold away and we suffer for it in hunger, taste and diseases? After 60years as republic, do we have leaders at all in Ghana and Africa as a whole? We are our own enemies as a nation. Greed, selfishness, wickedness and "let France burn" attitude will take us to no where but destroy us all one day.
