  In the fight against Galamsey, I am yet to hear any comment from the professors at the University of Mines, Tarkwa. All the comments so far are from social commentators who don't have the professional know-how to do so. This is what has been done in the past and the problem is still lingering on. Why is it that when there are any political issues journalists quickly call lecturers in the political science departments of our various public universities to seek their opinions? The same applies to legal issues where we see legal experts falling head-over-heels trying to champion their individual legal opinions to tackle issues that deal with the law. How come that when there is a challenge with mining, the opinions of the mining experts are not sought but rather we allow social commentator, who mostly have backgrounds in the arts and humanities, to do all the talking . The solution to the Galamsey menace is in the bosom of the Mining Engineer and, in fact, besides being the oldest profession after agriculturists, they are the only professionals in the world who are trained as the ‘Jacks of all trades and masters of all’ and so have the ability to provide solutions to the Galamsey menace. It is time to involve these mining professionals to find a lasting solution - not a political or artistic solution - to the Galamsey problem

  The pollution is too much. The destruction of our forests are too much. To hell with these galamsey people in their different names. These activities must stop!!!!!!! What type of stupid fools are some Ghanaians? You pollute the waters, you pollute the fishes along the river bed and the continental shelf for several years to come. We started mining gold before indepence what is the product of the gold. Underground mining did not bring any profit and now we want to destroy the whole country for gold. Other youths should follow and destroy other intransigent miners. We are talking about the future and not now for greedy bastards.
