The time has now come for us to take extraordinary measures, to end the apocalyptic destruction, of Ghana's natural heritage. We must not allow small-scale gold miners to use excavators that cause damage on an unimaginable scale, in their 25-acre concessions - concessions that were almost always invariably obtained by the bribing and corrupting of dishonest officials of the regulatory bodies.
The plain truth is that those permits and licenses, will never stand the scrutiny of forensic audits, conducted by reputable international auditing organisations. For sure. Period. Sarjewah.
As a people, the question we must ponder over is: Why should we allow such greedy, selfish and dishonest entrepreneurs, to hold our country to ransom: demanding a free pass to be allowed to continue poisoning our soils, river systems and groundwater with impunity? We are not fools. Parliament ought to quickly pass a new law, under a certificate of urgency, banning the use of excavators by small-scale gold miners. Full stop. Case closed. Enough is enough. Haaba.
