No, Akuffo Addo has the purse. Leave the clergy, the chiefs, and other actors alone. All the tax is with Nana Addo and Bawumia.

Mahama is not wise. He speaks before thinking of the ramifications of his words. Maybe his love for alcohol accounts for this behavior. He likened himself to a dead goat in the past. And now this gaffe. Unrepentant, he is currently inciting his supporters to demonstrate at EC offices in every town in the country. And this is a person who seeks to be the President of the country. This power-hungry individual is simply not fit to be the President of Ghana. He once was, but that was purely accidental. The majority that threw him under the bus in 2016 and 2020 will send him permanently into political oblivion in December.

Yes, and that is why we are losing the fight against galamsey. The funny thing is when Kufuor was president, there were no Chinese migrants in Ghana so, how did the Chinese come to Ghana? The Chinese came to Ghana during Mills/Mahama government due to some loan agreement they signed with the Chinese government, and the Chinese government included the migration of their people to be part of the agreement which the Mills government obliged.

Right now, NDC is "pretending" as if they have no idea how the Chinese entered Ghana and have shifted the narrative as if NPP was to be blamed.

It was during the last election that foolish Mahama made that statement to grant amnesty to all galamsey prisoners under that NPP government and also to allow the illegal mining to flourish. Also, NDC won in all the galamsey areas so, which party is fueling galamsey, NPP or NDC?

Who told you there no Chinese during Kufuor's time? That was when their coming was initiated. Kufuor's government allowed so many of them to stay.

Kufuor unilaterally re-awarded the construction of the stadiums (He circumvented the parliament even when he was warned about the implications including judgment debt) he snatched from Woyome to the Chinese, at the same time gave license to his brother to import rice from China.

Some of those Chinese who came through these contracts realized there is opportunity in making money after funding some friends in the galamsey establishment. So some of them never left since, so to speak.

This was said in context. Why imprison the poor fellows who cannot even eat a meal a day and leave out the financiers who buy the equipment they use? We need to be serious as a country. Who are those behind the procurement of the heavy equipment and resources? the villagers? We see them being imported and transported by road every day by road and not by sea. This is unfortunate. This is where the fight should start from.

What context? He used it to gain votes. His party people and former minerals commission boss went to galamsey sites and promised them that they will be allowed to continue mining.

John Mahama made that statement on his campaign tour during the last election. He promised those Ghanaians in the galamsey areas that he would allow galamsey to go on despite some efforts being made then.

John Mahama is a walking contradiction.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS PLAN.

Wrong move, Mahama. You had better rethink your position, for it goes contrary to efforts of fighting galamsey. Yes, the Akufo-Addo did set Aisha Huang free, but that doesn't justify setting other convicted galamsey operators free. These galamsey operators know how to obtain legal documents to engage in mining but choose to circumvent the law and engage in illegal mining. A government should be thinking of creating employment opportunities for struggling communities, but not rewarding those who have chosen to engage in galamsey and destroy lands and while polluting rivers.
