Where there’s no laws there’s no civilization. All this seized items must distribute among the cities with water problems. The rest burned it to ashes, the director who is responsible for this item must be twenty four hours watch because all the leaders in the country Ghana are CORRUPT. Everyone of them must be number so they don’t sell them at night. Corrupt government and people are hard to trust. The so called country call Ghana is very very corrupt not a single person trusted many are suffering in the hands of corrupt government and leadership.

Good initiative,but we have make sure the beneficiary farmers will not sell back to the galamseyers. There should be a tracking mechanism to monitor the farmers.
On the excavators, DRIP Co-ordinator should account to Ghanaians how the distribution was done.
The Co-ordinator should come out with policies on how the excavators are to be deployed(not to galamsey sites),the rental fees, operational expenses, compensation for staff, and publishing of mid- year audited Accounts.

I hope these machines will actually reach the rightful beneficiaries. Just afraid the politician will hijack them. We need them in Bolga for irrigation

The equipments can be sent to them alright but they must assure GHANIANS that they are nomore going to fight amongst themselves but are willing to do better things with their strength. Just look at what happened at Akwatia between two brothers even on somebody's land. Very shameful.

What remains unsaid is what the Government is doing to identify and deal with the big guys behind the excavators and pumps. Let ONE STATE AGENCY deal with this Gallamsey decisively and purposefully. If we continue with so many Agencies each doing their own thing, we will just repeat the past. What happened to Ameyaw Akumfi's Report ???

It's a good decision to give out these pumps to the agric ministry for irrigation farming but let's also make sure we're not putting people health at risk. Remember, these pumps were used to pump chemically polluted water. These chemicals may find their way in the soil, then in the farm produce.

Has the galamsey menace really stopped? I wish one can come to Bonzain in the Juaboso District and see devastation ongoing to the forest. I see police driving around and excavators moving in and out all the time. We're sitting on a time bomb.

THIS IS VERY THOUGHTFUL PLAN, GOOD INITIATIVE BUT I SUGGEST THAT THE GOVERNMENT MUST HELP THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO REAR THE "NKOKO NKETENKETE" BY WAY OF CONSTRUCTING THE BARNS AND IMPORT THE CHICKS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THEM AT A SUBSIDIARY PRICES. WE REALLY WANT TO SEE A BOOM OF CHICKEN IN THE COUNTRY FROM NOW.
