A security analyst Dr. Adams Bona talking to behind the news journalist on the topic, why the government is failing in the fight against galamsey, said that the government will only be successful in the fight against galamsey if and only if MMDCEs are being stopped from chairing the operations.
Dr. Bonaa added that most of the MMDCEs are involved in the galamsey activities and under no circumstance will someone use over GH¢9bn to buy an escavator only to sit aloof and allow it confiscated. In other for the government to succeed the MMDCEs and Regional Ministers must not be part of the fight and they should not be made to chair the operation teams.
He further explained that the fight against galamsey could only be successful when the government entrust the fight into the custody of the law enforcement agencies thus the police. In recent times the police have fought crimes and won and this galamsey activities is a form of crime and must be handled by the criminal department which is the police.
Dr. Bonaa henceforth stated categorically that the military is needless in this fight for the military has been used in the first attempt and it was unsuccessful so there is no need to inaugurate any “Operation Halt 2” again for it will not yield any better results. So in his opinion Halt 2 is needless and MMDCEs should not be involved in the fight. The fight should rather be handed over to the IGP and his team for this he thinks will yield some better results than military option.
His emphasis was on the fact that MMDCEs and Regional Ministers must be excluded in the fight since they are the cause of the problems. Based on this the government will never win the fight over galamsey if he continues to involve the MMDCEs and Regional Ministers the military.
