This mineral commission guy is talking nonsense, all small scale mining should stop weather with or without license period. There are countries without gold and they surviving
How does a mineral commission who is responsible for issuing permits for mining resort to district assembly to chase out illegal mining. If you are responsible for issuing licence then you must be equally responsible for dealing with illegal miners.
You don't throw the baby away with the bath water because the water is dirty or soiled. Currently, we are heavily dependent on imported frozen foods like chicken, fish, and meat which are industrially mass produced with hormones, chemicals, and everything else about them from handling to their storage is a serious health hazard to us. not to talk off our use of disposable plastic bags and sachets and bottle and cups and spoons, name them which is way more widely used by the population with a very serious environmental impact. Can you say we ban the imported frozen foods and plastics too since they rather pose a more serious urgent problems to us as humans?
I wish Ghanaians would take a similar, in fact, a more urgent approach to plastic waste pollution. Disposable plastic use and waste pollution effect on our environment is a much more dire problem than galamsay because every single one of us is a part of the disposable plastic waste pollution problem
Who in his normal mind would give permission for someone to do surface mining in a forest reserve I just can’t wrap my mind around this But the president sat down and allowed this madness to continue Really sad
We are talking about how the Galamsay destroying our waters bodies and land and you are saying license, how can giving them license wouldn’t still affect our land and water bodies badly??
Everything rises and falls on leadership. We can not take politics off because unfortunately political persons are responsible for setting the pace, provide policy directives and enforcement. You simply failing to function as the moral conscience of the country.
Enough of the Rules and Regulations and permits. These cabals need to be disrupted. Why can't State Apparatus be mobilized and focused on our forests and waterbodies to bring sanity back? If there's no compromise in the leadership of the country then it shouldn't be a problem. We can all tell from simple logic that something is definitely wrong.
Oh mother Ghana. So such a person as this minerals commission man is in charge of a whole commission. He only cares about his salary. I won't be surprised if he's doing galamsey too
You have the power to employ the military to clamp down on this menace yet he sits there to defend his office when you have been giving oversight over all mining activities in Ghana
This minerals commission boss has always being advocating for community mining. But they are the one's behind the Galamasey. Please see how he is trying to doge the questions.
You see what our leader's, are saying, so if someone got the mining license, it's means the person is in title to destroy the population of 33 million environment , because the mineral commission doesn't come there for inspection. Any time i saw Galamsay video I cry from my heart , who will fix this damage, Galamsay doesn't have found to do the rehabilitation, the country needs money to make double road for all over Ghana to make our travel easy and stop accident as well, Now look at what Chief's and they're people has brought to the country , another extra costs. My biggest problem is who will fix this damage, Chiefs or gorvement
Dear God, Please forgive me for campaigning and voting for npp in 2016 & 2020...Curse be on me if I dare campaign or vote for this npp in the 2024 elections. They have shown gross disrespect to you God, humanity and the name Ghana
Collective responsibility!!!!! This guy should be fired !! The regulatory body has failed. Laws are made to be enforced. Your enforcement has failed. The buck stops with the leader. This guy is not fit for purpose , he has told Ghanaians, he cannot do his job . Shame on him, shame on his govt. cant wait to be rid off this incompetent admin in Nov together with the commander in chief of the Ghana armed forces
Government should ban the use of excavators and chanfans in small scale mining and make the importation and rentals of these equipment illegal. Allow the licenced small scale miners to use pick axes and shovels for their mining and see if this destruction of forest and water bodies will not reduce by over 95% within a year.
@michaelakenya268 Mr know all, respectfully I'm talking about banning the use of excavators in small scale mining in Ghana. It will be well appreciated if you also suggest a solution to ending the pollution of our water bodies and forest by illegal mining
The UN must see this and caution the government Tourism to the beaches is zero.. fishes are dying. no water for the people.. water pollution, what is all these
@@michaelakenya268 Not me, those in government positions, that was why they swore to protect the country, this is to those that are turning a blind eye to this...ECOWAs or even AU can caution Ghana government..Cos this is a disgrace where a country sits and watches as the sea is colourized and this can spread to most parts of West Africa if care is not taken
Nonsense! You mineral comission CEO, your answer to why political party affiliation on license application is childish. Is the mineral commision a political party, for you to ensure concessions are not given to members? It is a Ghanaian institution for God sake! The question is why must you have those applying for consessions to declare their political party affiliation? Ghanaian want it banned and the mineral commision guy is talking nonsense.
Community and small scale mining are what we need to ban not mining in general and those big companies doing clean mining should give us the majority shares not this cheap and wicked amount they give us .
These are the people the media, activists, and CSOs shd be going after, not the politicians. He got the job for a reason. Now, he seems to suggest that none of that matters. Somebody else is to blame? Is that your answer, Sir?
What lecture is he giving? After all that he is saying which everyone is aware of already, what has he done about it period? He is making the case worst for his bosses Nana Addo and Bawumia. They know all these but doing nothing. Professor Frimpong Boateng gave a comprehensive report and you guys slept over it, and now talking nonsense. His response summed everything up as they are all incompetent and have failed woefully. Ghanaians, you guys need a change of government to at least handle thie menace to the bearest minimum.
Samson I use to respect and admire u. But recently, you’ve been defending these NPP people a lot. U were also given an envelope when u went to bawumia meeting the rest right. Come publicly to declare either you accepted your envelope or not. Come out and make your stand. This guy is being stupid and sarcastic and you are there giggling. You are not serious gosh
This guy is of no difference he is a suspect of those doing destroying our beautiful land i can say he is a thief and takes money for this act in the name of issuing licenses.*
world wise intelligence people think about asking Russia cabinet lran, china, Nouth Korea and others Russia allies also supply waeppon to support Russian in everyday?so if UK US only two countries supply Ukraine weapons the same thing Putin also doing???
Mineral Commission per se are not political exposed persons.If clearly one political exposed person is involved you should not as Minerals Commission head use a clearly skewed example to justify that.
I was surprised 😂 that the excuse he gave is very lame I'm surprised Samson didn't draw his attention to that. The law requires you to know the political affiliation of the applicants, and he is talking about commissioners and the board of directors. How is that a political affiliation? of course, they have to disclose that they work with the minerals commission because of conflict of interest, not because of their political affiliation. the mineral commission is not a political party. 😂
Shame shame shame The fundamental issue driving illegal mining ……. Owh God Save us, so if your father can’t provide for you to your satisfaction, does it give you the permission to steal
His responses show he doesn't care about the destruction.…I am tempted to believe he is doing galamsey as well
This mineral commission guy is talking nonsense, all small scale mining should stop weather with or without license period. There are countries without gold and they surviving
If Ghana is a serious country, this minerals commission CEO should have been arrested.
Ghana and serious. These two words dont match
This guy needs to be sacked
The corruption and the lack of accountability in Ghana is insane. We are doom if these are the sort of leaders we have.
Doesn't he know that the process of getting the license has been corrupted.
This man, oh my God, save Ghana.
How does a mineral commission who is responsible for issuing permits for mining resort to district assembly to chase out illegal mining. If you are responsible for issuing licence then you must be equally responsible for dealing with illegal miners.
Exactly
Clearly the Minerals commission CEO has an interest he's protecting that's why he doesn't like the idea of absolute ban 😂😂😂.
You don't throw the baby away with the bath water because the water is dirty or soiled. Currently, we are heavily dependent on imported frozen foods like chicken, fish, and meat which are industrially mass produced with hormones, chemicals, and everything else about them from handling to their storage is a serious health hazard to us. not to talk off our use of disposable plastic bags and sachets and bottle and cups and spoons, name them which is way more widely used by the population with a very serious environmental impact. Can you say we ban the imported frozen foods and plastics too since they rather pose a more serious urgent problems to us as humans?
This mineral commission guy should be sacked with immediate effect. He is a failure 😢😢😢😢😢
The CEO Ayisi must be fired.
I swear the illegal ones are the ones these mineral commissioners get their huge compensation from
Why should newmount be license to mine in a forest reserve? Ban them and chased them out
The commision have their share.
I wish Ghanaians would take a similar, in fact, a more urgent approach to plastic waste pollution. Disposable plastic use and waste pollution effect on our environment is a much more dire problem than galamsay because every single one of us is a part of the disposable plastic waste pollution problem
Are your water bodies safe to consume.
Who in his normal mind would give permission for someone to do surface mining in a forest reserve
I just can’t wrap my mind around this
But the president sat down and allowed this madness to continue
Really sad
We are talking about how the Galamsay destroying our waters bodies and land and you are saying license, how can giving them license wouldn’t still affect our land and water bodies badly??

What sort of leaders we have and their thinking.
Why do I feel we have confidence tricksters in authority in Ghana?
This man needs to be sacked as well as the EPA and forestry bosses and agencies
Enough of the Rules and Regulations and permits. These cabals need to be disrupted. Why can't State Apparatus be mobilized and focused on our forests and waterbodies to bring sanity back? If there's no compromise in the leadership of the country then it shouldn't be a problem. We can all tell from simple logic that something is definitely wrong.
You are a failure, Mr Ceo. Is a shame.
This Minerals Commission is part of the problem and should be abolished.
Oh mother Ghana. So such a person as this minerals commission man is in charge of a whole commission. He only cares about his salary. I won't be surprised if he's doing galamsey too
What a shame! How could we have heartless leaders as this? Forests are destroyed because gold.
⛔️If GHANA MEDIA HOUSES can't tell Ghanaians to VOTE against NPP, then they are all STUP!D.😭😭😭
What about voting against the NDC who wants to legalise galamsey
It's not an NPP issue.....if you put NDC in power they will do same
We have these people as leaders. How can we move forward as a country
Samson you were good in this interview !!!! Shame on this admin
He's part of the cartel... He's protecting his daily bread
You have the power to employ the military to clamp down on this menace yet he sits there to defend his office when you have been giving oversight over all mining activities in Ghana
He himself dey do Galamsey
Is the CEO serious? What does he mean by collective responsibility?
We should risk our lives, and they get paid ......
What a shame!
This minerals commission boss has always being advocating for community mining. But they are the one's behind the Galamasey. Please see how he is trying to doge the questions.
See his confidence twister
We talk too much in Ghana.
This mineral commission guy is lying and and he is one of the obstacles in fighting galamsey. He is an accomplices
You see what our leader's, are saying, so if someone got the mining license, it's means the person is in title to destroy the population of 33 million environment , because the mineral commission doesn't come there for inspection.

Da minerals commission Ceo be haaaaard guy!!! Ghana, smh
The idiot said "don't let us get emotional". E no go better for him and his generation!!! Kwasia sem!! I am usually very calm but no more!!
This man needs to go to jail, Ghana is a joke country
That man should be sacked...from the way he's speaking he part of those destroying our forest
Dear God, Please forgive me for campaigning and voting for npp in 2016 & 2020...Curse be on me if I dare campaign or vote for this npp in the 2024 elections. They have shown gross disrespect to you God, humanity and the name Ghana

My brother, don't worry the man, all these is the responsibility of the president period.
Can there be a moratorium on galamsey and issuing of license
Why is the Konongo MCE still at post, Sack him and bring someone who's efficient effective and not corrupt
See his face. These are the guys behind this whole nonsense
He didn't answer the question of disclosure of political affliction
His answers tells you which side he's on, won't be talking crap if his grand children are born without arms and noses
simple question, long story. Is it the case that you're also not doing your job?
Government should ban the use of excavators and chanfans in small scale mining and make the importation and rentals of these equipment illegal. Allow the licenced small scale miners to use pick axes and shovels for their mining and see if this destruction of forest and water bodies will not reduce by over 95% within a year.
😂😂 Excavators are used in construction and Chang Fa is the name of a diesel engine manufacturer. What are you talking about?
@michaelakenya268 Mr know all, respectfully I'm talking about banning the use of excavators in small scale mining in Ghana. It will be well appreciated if you also suggest a solution to ending the pollution of our water bodies and forest by illegal mining
They can continue if a government who can't put a stop to it and he is not doing it why do you have to come and worry our ears this morning
The mineral and forestry commission and the office of the minister for land and mineral resources is a crime scene
Mineral commission is fake to deceive you.fight your own fight my Ghanaian people . they are playing mind games with you.
The UN must see this and caution the government
Tourism to the beaches is zero.. fishes are dying. no water for the people..
water pollution, what is all these
😂😂 So you need the UN to come and tell you how to behave in your own country?
@@michaelakenya268 Not me, those in government positions, that was why they swore to protect the country, this is to those that are turning a blind eye to this...ECOWAs or even AU can caution Ghana government..Cos this is a disgrace where a country sits and watches as the sea is colourized and this can spread to most parts of West Africa if care is not taken

Ghanaian want it banned and the mineral commision guy is talking nonsense.
@@rayeagin9129 Did the AU, ECOWAS and the UN elected your government for you? If no, then why shifting the responsibility to them?
Mr Bogus argument is leadership not a collective undertaking so get right Ghana people always calling themselves expect of nothing
Community and small scale mining are what we need to ban not mining in general and those big companies doing clean mining should give us the majority shares not this cheap and wicked amount they give us .
The galamsey operators give all their proceeds to the government?
Thus man should have been sacked long ago. Its so clear he doesn't know his JD.

Is this man ok at all? You saw mining going on just behind a police station and it doesn't bother you.
Martin Kweku Ayisi, what are you talking about? 🫣☹️
