A popular social media commentator has divided social media after he rained invectives on authorities in the country over what he described as poor handling of the galamsey menace.

Taking to Twitter, Twene Jonas accused government officials and chiefs in the various regions of playing key roles in the destruction of the country’s lands.

According to Jonas, chiefs who serve as custodians are to blame for the galamsey menace since they are responsible for selling the lands to individuals and corporate bodies that indulge in the destructive menace.

Some Ghanaians while reacting to the social media sensation’s stance have commended him for what they describe as being candid and calling out authorities.

But others have also chided him for not showing respect to those in authority, particularly traditional leaders in the country.

Government, led by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Samuel Abu Jinapor has intensified the fight against galamsey across the country.

The approach has been criticised by many stakeholders, who have said the decision to burn the mining equipment is a bad move by the government.
