Given their irresponsible attitude towards the natural environment, politicians ought not to have any truck with illegal gold miners, in the slightest. Yet, apparently, Dr. Edward Mahama wants to help them, one gathers.
With respect, the last thing we need at a time of global climate change, is to give succour to those greedy and ruthless fellows, who are polluting rivers and
and poisoning water tables across the country, with such impunity.
It would be far more beneficial to society, if they were trained as goldsmiths and jewellery designers - so that they can earn a decent living adding value to gold: and society can finally halt them from the wanton destruction of vast swathes of the Ghanaian countryside, which their greed for money is driving them to inflict on our nation.
One respects Dr. Mahama a great deal. However, it is pure nonsense on bamboo stilts for politicians to humour such callous and selfish individuals at a time when global climate change is impacting our natural environment so negatively.
The question is: Should we allow politicians to say such dreadful things just to help them win power? Haaba.
As we speak, for example, illegal gold miners are busy destroying part of my family's land at Akyem Juaso, with total impunity - and polluting the Apotosu, Subin and Akosu streams too: all of which have their headwaters in our part of the Atewa range upland evergreen rain forest.
Given the vital ecosystem services the area provides, what they are doing amounts to a crime against humanity. Literally. That is why politicians like Dr. Edward Mahama must not humour such ruthless criminals.
Hmmm, Ghana - eyeasem oo: asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
