Seasoned journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr., has expressed utter disgust over the orders to the Military to burn mining equipment used in illegal gold mining.
According to him, instead of burning the excavators, those caught with the excavators must be penalized through prosecution and their excavators handed over to the Police.
This, he said, is the most lawful way of confronting the issue. It s mindless. It s lawless because this is a law-governed society. And if you make laws and feel the laws are impossible to implement, there is an option. Just amend the law but you don t make which I have here and actually let the law prevail but go out there to violate the law and it s a State institution or State actors who are engaged in that violation, that mindless, lawless action.

He said the NDC’s flagbearer attitude after the elections has been a little disappointing.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokroko Morning Show, he said there’s no medal for second place and that he should accept that he lost.
Mr. Baako noted that there is no second prize in the elections, hence what matters to the elections is the first position and in this case, President Nana Akufo-Addo is the gold medal laureate. So, I m surprised somebody wants to suggest that the 500,000 plus means he has done well. You lost, you lost. They won t give you a silver medal. We don t have bronze, silver; what we have here is a gold medal. Finished! ,
