THE
MOCKERY AND NONSENSE OF GALAMSEY IN GHANA
Galamsey is a popular name
for illegal small scale mining in Ghana
Notorious Galamsey has
openly operated in Ghana for decades
Although illegal, Galamsey
comfortably connives and fraternizes with some selfish traditional leaders, greedy
politicians and desperate local folks
Its chief beneficiaries are
foreigners
Its current and future
victims are related communities, Ghana and her unborn generations.
Galamsey continues to steal
billions of Cedis from Ghana
It continues to destroy its
vast agricultural lands
It is polluting and emptying
her water bodies
If not tamed, Ghana will be importing
water in the next decades
The related communities are
becoming inhabitable because of its harmful operations
Its daily drinking spree
with rapacious and narcissistic chiefs and politicians is still rocking
Its acceptance and tolerance
level in palaces and political parlours is galloping
Like corruption, it is
making its participants suddenly wealthy while assassinating its victims
The unborn generations of
Gold Coast Ghana are shocked at the lukewarm and selfish attitudes of the
present generation.
Galamsey is worse than HIV
Aids, robbery and gruesome murder
Yet the law enforcement agencies
of Ghana have so far done little to arrest and prosecute it
Yet the Government of Ghana
is merely complaining, issuing threats and giving ultimatums
Two weeks or more ultimatum for
its actors to stop the illegality whiles lives are perishing
Oh! who will salvage today’s
Gold Coast Ghana and her future from this atrocities impunity?
Arise you slumbering citizens
of Ghana and protect your Motherland
Enough with the sleeping;
enough with the lukewarm; enough of this mockery and nonsense!
