But Col Aggrey, tell your forces on such mission to be well behaved, especially dealing with innocent people and maltreating innocent locals.
They should also be careful with people's wives and underage girls in the towns and villages so they can receive the co operation of the people and not clashes.

POLICE HAVE ISSUED A SHOOT AND KILL ORDER so they have been deployed to go and kill.

Galamsey is an activity like animal poachers. Give rewards to whistleblowers. Institute this policy and all Corruptive activities will cease.

What is monetary incentive and from where? Look, we cannot sit idle and allow some disgruntle elements to destroy our water-bodies, forests etc in the name of illegal mining.

Failure to take concrete and punitive measures against galamsey means, we are not a civilize nation. Remember that "water is life" and we should not compromise the decision being taken by the government.

Galamsey areas are known and should be under the guard of the military cum the police with simple instruction to "shoot to kill ask questions later". We shouldn't compromise the effort being taking by the government and in the future we will all breathe a sigh of relieve.

The monetary incentive- problem solution with the whistleblower rewards will get all the areas of Galamsey. This Deployment is too large and too expensive. Use the poverty situation to reward people for the information. Monetary rewards will solve the galamsey- problem in no time. Only deploy our forces to clean up and fill the holes.

Whistle blowers, if rewarded will make the work of the forces at galamsay areas easier. The whistle blowers know where many of the pits are and when they operate. They also know where galamsayers post guards 1 mile to watch if forces are closing on so those engaged in galamsay and know the terrain to run away.

We don't learn from our mistakes as a nation. The problem with this is that they officials get corrupted and themselves indulge in the act after a month. I have seen it happen 3 times in the last decade and half. I expected a better approach remedy from this government, not to just walk down the same path of enriching the security officers while the menace continues. Think harder, hold the district n municipal heads accountable n the menace will end in a month

You are right so don't keep these forces at one location for 6 weeks but transfer them frequently. They should occasionally be replaced from others from the barracks so they don't become corrupt. On patrol, include spies and some members of the District assembly with them. When arrested, they should be forced to tell those who gave the land to them. Put those arrested in overcrowded jails and prisons. If they are Chinese, don't treat them differently and don't grant them bail. Fill identified pits with concrete and sand.

Please order them to shoot and kill on sight. There shouldn't be any arrest no time wasting.

You a big fool to say something like that. Stupid idiot, what do you expect them to do when politicians are stealing from the nation's coffers instead of creating jobs for the youth.
