The nauseating hypocrisy of the Ghanaian? Prosecuting Aisha Huang would have sent a strong statement and these things. We all stood and watch the government doing this abominable and we thought there wont be any consequences? they could have also use th Anas tape to send a signal but did nothing, the galamsey fight has failed big time. Again Hypocrites
Aah but i thought the president said Galamsey is almost no more. What happened
I am afraid we are not learning from the experiences of the DRC. When neighbouring countries begin to enter another country with such impunity, they break the institutional structures that exist and the next moment, they drive their army to the country to strike. We are probably the weakest nation in the sub-region and we freely allow other countries to mine our resources without going through the right process. We engulf ourselves in politics while serious issues such as the invasion of our country is put aside.
We need to be tough!
If we don't raise up, by the time we open our eyes, people in these regions will not even have portable drinking water to drink let alone have one to cook and bath with. We don't have to wait for the president to do all this. There are citizens in these regions, why can't they wage war against these aliens who are destroying their water bodies?
