  So what? Who said anything about smuggling has ended? You make your own question and answer. Golbod is doing a good job for Ghana.

  If you have knowledge of any smuggling gold please report it to the Gold Bod. That's good patriotic citizen. Being a mining consultant doesn't mean everything about you should criticize.

  This idiot called Wisdom and his immediate Boss (Mireku Duker, Former Tarkwa MP) were behind all the galemsey activities in the western region. Giving titles to people anyhow. Wisdom is not a mining consultant. He's Mireku Duker's PA. They're envious of GoldBod because GoldBod has stopped the galemsey work of him and his Boss(Duker). Ghanaweb should ignore such guys. Don't give them your platform to mislead innocent minds with their galemsey minds.

  Unfortunately, this so-called mining consultant failed or deliberately refused to point out what might have occasioned the significant increase. Just hollow ranting. It is understandable if one considers the pain in losing an election in such magnitude. Na who cause am?

  Some of you can't think or use your brains. You just swallow everything or reject any criticism you read so long as it doesn't favour your political affiliation. How can a Prof, a whole acdemic draw such causal conclusions without backing it with data? And some small minded people releate the criticism to losing an election. SMH!

  The whole argument by the Prof is flawed. The increase in purchases could also be increase in galamsey, since the Goldbod does not know where the gold is coming from.
  Goldbod is equal to Galamsey board.

  @Kwame panin, you hit the nail perfectly in the right place! The increased purchase volume is more the direct result of increased interest in gold/galamsey mining due to the gold price hike; moving from $2,600/oz to now $4,600/oz! This is almost double the 2024 price, so the motivation to go into gold mining is now very high, to the extent that those who previously had no interest in galamsey are now keen to venture into it to improve their lot to enable them to be able to face the ever challenging economic situation without alternate jobs or means of livelihood. Of course the goldbod could be said to have contributed to the increased purchase volume, but definitely not the main reason!
