Host of "Kokrokoo" panel discussion show on Peace FM, Kwami Sefa Kayi, has expressed fears over the galamsey menace in the country.
Kwami Sefa Kayi, popularly called 'Chairman General', was extremely worried about the challenges government is having with eradicating this illegal mining which has ruined the environment and water bodies and posing dangers to lives.
He dreaded that if the galamsey is not stopped, it might degenerate into a state where the illegal miners, who reportedly possess guns and other offensive weapons, may turn into "rebels" and stage a coup.
"We are breeding rebels. We are breeding a force that someone could call some day to overthrow government. That is what we are doing and we are just watching," he said on his platform.
His comment comes on the heels of a video showing some gunmen purported to be illegal miners exchanging fires with an anti-galamsey taskforce.
The incident is said to have happened at Asaman Tamfoe in the Eastern Region on Thursday, 29th September, 2022.
Following arrest of sixteen (16) persons involved with the shooting incident, Police retrieved a pump action gun, two excavators, two water pumps and a battery.
Efforts are underway to arrest the remaining suspects.

Invincible Forces+Galamsey+Arms= what Kwame Sefa Kayi is describing. Sammy Crabbe, former 2nd Vice Chairman of the NPP predicted this way back in 2018
Well said. This is the main reason why political parties must come together and deal with the menace, no matter who is in power. Political games must stop and those who play games must be condemned. It is not only the job of NPP or NDC but all of us. We must take on these few criminals who want to destroy our future and our dear country. If we do not fight these criminals, we will not have a country any more.
Aw! Kwamen Sefa Kayi, say that again!
