What an incoherent story from that Ibrahim Musah. They should arrest him ASAP for being a stubborn illegal galamseyer.

Asked whether he would do it again, Musah said yes. It looks like he can't wait to get into another put.

That is a sign of desperation. Added to that is the government crackdown on galamsay. A lot of the boys have changed tactics to work in the night. That is not right. More will die before it gets. Too bad. .

Fucking journalist. Why didn't you ask him why he should die working if he says he does that work for a living? Look at the number of people in one pit and we are being told somebody is doing well in fighting galamsey. Apuuu. Peter Amewu should be re assigned to 'Planting for Jobs Promise' This is an unprecedented failure on the part of the minister. How. Contempt of ' Stop Galamsey Order' yet interviewed by a journalist and allowed to walk home free without arrest. What a country? I don't want to hear anything again about stopping galamsey. Please don't waste my ears. Miserably failed.

When the military tried rescueing the galamsey situation, what did they do, they targetted their innocent captain and murdered him in broad day light and pretended he was a suspected armed robber. I don't think the military will be that active in this galamsey issue again. They have learnt their bitter lesson.

put some sort of reasoning in your arguments and stop putting blames on innocent people. Is it npp who ask them to go and mined?. even the report said it was Sunday, instead for them to go to church and pray to God for another job, they decide to be adamant and recalcitrant and do not fear God. even the Bible said, if you despise on your authority, you have despised on God. The same Bible said man must not live by Bread alone. May God forgive them.

GHANA! OH! GHANA!!! After all the noise about fighting galamsey, why has the media gone quiet about it?

What has happened to AISHA (the Chinese lady)? Has she been jailed or?

Can somebody tell GHANAIANS what is really happening?

I recall, immediately after the the minster Amewu stated that the military were involved in galamsey.......Major Mahama suffered his fate. What is really going on?

What is the partisan media doing about it?

GHANA is treading a very tight rope and should be very careful or we will have ourselves to blame, if things go wrong and gets even worse.

The NPP, PNDC and NDC governments have FAILED GHANAIANS!!!!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!

I wish people will understand the issue of the galamsey very well. Its like a slave trade. The moment you get involve, it becomes difficult to quit. Most of the young men and women involved cannot earn enough to wean themselves from it, and since you earn something small daily, you are tempted to go for it everyday. Its always the big shots who visits the sites once a week who makes the money. Its sad to hear people say they cannot stop, why cant you stop when you know it's dangerous? There is nothing in this world man cannot stop.

Peter Amewu and Nana are joking with Ghanaian, why because in some areas they stopped the galamsey but in some areas the activity is still going on. Are those doing it more importantly than those stopped from doing it?

Well, the wise person will not in his wildest dream think of daring death. But it seems the corrupted mind and Ghanaians at large are so enfeebled by lawlessness that death means nothing to them. So who is to be blamed for this disaster? The morons who sit in the comfort of their homes and send these innocent and struggling teenagers to their death. That is the cancer borne out of galamsey. A word to the wise is enough.
