Nana is doing what Mahama could not do. Let's wait for the results. Please, no criticism. Some are comfortable with critisms.

Have some patience and time will come.

Kwesi is right , arrest all the custom officers , police and FDA authorities who allowed such quantities of cyanide , mercury and other poisonous heavy metals to be imported into the country and stop persecuting the laborers.Its evident that Nana has surrounded himself with smooth talking bullshitters who know nothing except for kissing ass like Bawumia .He lacks proper advisors who are knowledgeable in geopolitics and its effect on economies , he has no one with any understanding of industrialization , the culture of security or even historical understanding of the true nature of the forces that influence the world . Nana is a weak president who doesn't know how to use the power to serve the interests of the people.Some people want to ignore the fact that our nation overwhelmingly voted for change and not for a continuation of the old values but different criminals . They deny the the people wanted a total halt and u turn from the further islamisation , retrogression , primitiveness and irresponsible selfish corruption of our leaders so wish to seriously disappoint us with their stupidity.The basis of any successful beneficial productive or fruitful relationship be it public , private or intimate is RESPECT, no love or emotions or even freedom. Some deputy minister came and told our people to stop whining and didn't even get sacked because that is the general attitude or mindset of our ruling elite who think the people are there to serve him and his cronies to get rich and not he to serve the interests of the people . We see they do everything not to ensure the well-being of our people but cause distress , frustration , poverty , despair and systematically erase all positive potentials in favor of toxic situations and problems that will take 50 years or more to rectify. Another air-brained idiot minister comes out with glee to announce who are investors are so we get Turkey , China , Russia , Brasil , UAE but none with the ability to make available new technology or future markets we desire or are worth competing in.One the basic rules to industrialization is the acquisition of technologies in the form of sustainable profitable businesses and when that is done the desirable capital follows , thats what even China Japan or Germany did. They pay lip service to our desire for jobs and industrialization but when it comes to actually doing something they have their arms stretched. For example our IGP came out to say the police are poorly equipped yet we know there are several proposals to set up a pistol making factory , produce our own explosives /gun powder , uniforms etc from mainly christian democracies in Europe and the USA but all these are ignored because the diaspora promoters will not or cant afford to bribe our politicians so our police die in absurd stupid situations like what happened at Lapaz. Yes we are aware of over 50,000 in words fifty thousand proposals , ideas , factories , processing plants that our industrious Akan and the diaspora have developed over the past 150 years but what happens . The concepts or ideas are stolen , watered down and offered to Chinese and whatever toxic capital is out there and the promoters /developers killed , marginalized or in some other way destroyed so we get eventually half baked , incomplete white elephant projects like VALCO and such. Our self centered leaders and their arrogant political appointees are so sell indulged they fail to take heed to the world trends and secure a better future . Another example of an easy 3 million jobs we throw away because we refuse to think strategically is in tourism , instead of organizing that almost every household has one tourist standardized room and mobilizing our diaspora to encourage and support our tourism we choose to litter our landscape with edifices and buildings of terror/ fear , mosques. All Islamic countries or fake secular states are now loosing billions and instead of us capitalizing on this we alienate ourselves from the 15 to 30 billion dollars we could make per year by accepting all year round up 10 million christian tourists and continue to approve building of mosques even in police stations . I will elaborate over the next few months why we will not achieve within the next 15 years a robust economy of 500 billion dollars GDP even though its doable. We should seriously consider going to war to attain true freedom for our Akan people as there seems to be no peaceful way with this corrupt political oligarchy of fools .

Sorry Pratt! This junk talk. I cannot follow your logic. Does it mean that if the big companies are already polluting our water bodies and damaging our ecological system beyond recovery then everybody must be allowed to do the same or follow suit? Yes we must hold the big companies accountable as well but to assert that the fight must be all or nothing is irresponsible on your part. It is incumbent upon the present or any government to identify the problem and start somewhere to fight the menace in order to avoid total chaos. We must put mother Ghana ahead of everything. After all mother Ghana doesn't need us. We need mother Ghana for our survival.

EVERYBODY DOES NOT NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE GALAMSEY MENACE EXCEPT KWESI PRATT; SITTING IN HIS AIRCONDITIONED OFFICE AND ISSUING SOLUTIONS.

HE HAS BEEN PONTIFICATING ON MANY ISSUES WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY HANDS ON SOLUTIONS; HE HAS BEEN USED BY THE NDC TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK FOR THEM AND SEES HIMSELF AS AN EXPERT.

WHEN WILL YOU BE A PROPER EXPERT, KWESI?

Kwesi Pratt,
The big mining companies can be sinoected and their oerations brought under te scrutiny of government insoectors any day they want to do so.

Galamsey operators, on the Other hand, work underground at night in the dark surreptitiously -- call it what you like. So It is they who are causing the greatest damage. To shift focus onto ALL MINERS WHEN SOME ARE ALREADY UNDER CONTROL IS LIKE SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE OE HAS A HEAD-ACHE, ONE MUST NOT G TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN ONE GETS CANCER! After all, al disease be disease?

This was one of the journalist I respected so well, then all of a sudden his line of objective thinking changed and he became stuck in a picky angle in his manner of commenting. You didn't have any serious issues when nothing was done some 4yrs ago to stop galamseyers. Now someone is doing his bit to curb this canker, you have begun punching holes because you are on Radio Gold. Can't you be a free thinker irrespective of where you sit? Respect is earned, good name is made. Please Sir, get these two.

I THOUGHT WE HAVE A COMMISSION LOOKING AFTER THE PROPER AND LAWFUL MINING IN GHANA. WHY ARE WE HEARING ALL OVER THE PLACE THESE HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING TO OUR WATERS BEING POLLUTED BY THESE MINING COMPANIES? THE GOVERNMENT CAN PROTECT BUT LEAVE THESE COMPANIES TO GO UNPUNISHED FOR THEIR MISDEEDS. THE COMMISSIONS MUST BE ABOLISHED OR THE INACTIVE ONES SACKED PERIOD. WHAT ARE THE MANDATES OF THESE COMMISSIONS?

Ghana is not a strong country like US, UK, Germany, France, Canada etc. Ghana is divided into little tribes headed by Kings with little or no education.
This explains why we are finding it difficult to stop "galampsey"
