  • EFO KOKU 7 years ago

    The statement from the minister makes him very weak. Like he's pleading with those destroying the country's rivers to be moderate and not do it at such a speed. Are these so called ministers ignorant or just foolish people. I ...

  • Uncle Pee 7 years ago

    If Ernesto doesn't see anything wrong with galamsey to warrant the President's attention, he really needs psychiatric evaluation. How is curbing illicit mining related to incompetence?

  • Ama. 7 years ago

    Don't beg those Chinese who are into illegal mining, arrest, prosecute and jail them. Deport them after they have served their sentences. The Chiefs, politicians, and all other Ghanaians who are also breaking the law must be ...
