Martey, The Galamsey operation is nothing new. It has been going on for a long time. Are you now seeing and realizing it? Why were u not helping the past governments to fight it? You spent all your time criticizing the NDC government for things your termed to be wrong, which i believed it was your right to do, but we have not heard you voice speaking against the hardship Ghanaians are now facing. Are you all of a sudden blind to see the havoc been caused by the so called Invisible Forces and the Delta Forces? Where is your conscience ?

He did not help the NDC government to fight galamsay because that government was deeply involved in corruption that they did not care whether our water bodies were being destroyed or not.

In my student days, the West circulated a book called ' The African Student in China' in which the Chinese were portrayed as inhuman. that was 65years ago. about 4 years later Osagyefo was overthrown, the Chinese were chased out. China today may be the only one whose accounts are in black. Developed and Underdeveloped countries are falling over one another to catch China's eye. Galamsey in its current form is bad because we have always had a legislature of selfish people interested in what they will get financially & esteem. good enforceable laws would have made galamsey good- Chinese or Ghanain. Make the laws to protect our environment and let the practice go on-Chinese or Ghanain. let the Azorka, Delta & the Invisible boys enforce such laws and the cry of Illegal galamsey will die. Didn't you know legal AGC poisoned the Jimmy & Offin rivers and dumped cynide around Obuasi?

Yes it is very strange that no Ghanian MP has critize the utterances of the Chinese Mission regarding the Galamsey.The Chinese are the "Economic Hijackers".They are destroying our Forests and poisoning our rivers with the assistance of the greedy Ghanian.Can an even an African President go to China to do open illegal Mining? The answer is NO.

The government of the day has to be given 3 months to bring Galamsey to an end .

All the laws they require are there.

This problem can be tackled from 4 Ministries.

1. The Ministry of Environment has all it takes.

2. The ministry of Local Government has all the requisite laws.

3. The Ministry of Mines bla bla bla has all the requisite laws passed.

This is the the the highest priority confronting the nation.

The President should but this free shs in the Back burner.

If they cant solve this problem within the stipulated time, they should all resign en block period.

We are fed with politicians who are given all the necessary tools, money etc. etc. and they deliver so little.

All they are interested is in 4 wheel drives and their salaries.

Thanks.

Ghanaians are wide awake.

Please stop Chinese from destroying our lands. China is becoming rich every day at the expense of Africa! In 20 years to come Ghanaians won't have any land to farm. Please everyone should put his or her selfishness aside and stop Chinese from destroying our country Ghana. Let us think about tomorrow rather than accepting bribes from these Chinese! If they can not engage in proper mining then they should go back to China! They have no human feelings for Africans. They are in Ghana to destroy the country.

Rev Emmanuel Marley, it is unchristian to tell a grievous lie as a man of God. Prof, I put it to you that the Chinese are not the only foreigners engage in galamsey activities; there are Nigerians, Indians, Israelis, Americans & South Africans. Making incendiary remarks of calling The Chinese ecomomic guerrillas would inflame Ghanaians to attack the Chinese, that is evil, Man of God.
