BUSTED WITHOUT STATE OF EMERGENCY: Over 10,000 Galamseyers mostly foreigners flushed out of Forest Reserve

Days after the passing out of about 433 Blue Water Guards in the Western Region, a combined force led by the Military and Forestry Guards discovered an illegal Galamsey Settlement inside the Subri Forest Reserve in the Western Region, raided it at dawn, removed all residents, and burnt down the entire sprawling settlement.

This comes on the heels of the MISSING DRONE SCANDAL in which a very expensive equipment bought under the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government for monitoring and discovering such human activity in Forest Reserves cannot be traced with the immediate past Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, passing the buck…

ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE MUST BE ARRESTED.

The May Day deadline declared by the GOLDBOD banning any trading and export of Gold will ensure the cutting off of the blood-money that fuels the Galamsey menace…

Ghanaians must support the new government’s War on Galamsey; especially the new initiatives…

Doing things the same way and expecting different results is a sign of an unsound mind…

The obvious practical and logistical challenges in arresting 10,000 Galamseyers in ONE RAID expose the shortfall in the call for a Declaration of a State of Emergency, a Shoot-To-Kill order without any alternative livelihood support programme.

Let’s all support the new government initiatives…
