Host of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwami Sefa Kayi, has expressed his disgust at the illegal mining activities going on in the country.
Addressing the galamsey threat, the broadcaster likened it to "terrorism" and feared there may come a time that it will get out of control.
"If we can't fight galamsey, what can we fight?", he asked.
He further found galamsey to be a treasonable offence and called for severe punishment to deter the illegal miners.
He cited a provision in Armed Forces Act 1962 which prescribes "death penalty" for treason; thereby asking "is it (galamsey) not treasonable? Is it not an attack on the State?"

Kwame sefa kayi paaaa, they are seriously fighting the poverty in themselves by busily grabbing from all angles. Every appointee in this government is a building or road contractor, they are all suppliers of goods and services in their various offices. So they are fighting. Any so called politician in Ghana who says he already had money before entering politics, tell him or her ' wo boaa ' ( you are lying), it's a ploy to let you have confidence in them, give them the power and see the speed at which they will loot.
