Livestream: Newsfile discusses 'suspicious flights saga' and deportation of foreign galamseyers

This Saturday, *Newsfile* on JoyNews will cover two major issues.

The first topic is the controversy over suspicious aircraft landings at Kotoka International Airport. The second issue involves the government's efforts to deport foreign nationals involved in illegal mining, known as *galamsey*.

The program will feature legal, security, and political analysts. They will discuss the implications of both developments.

The "suspicious flights saga" has gained public attention. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a member of Parliament's Defence and Interior Committee, made allegations about two aircraft linked to drug trafficking and money laundering. He claimed these planes landed and departed without proper checks.

Many Ghanaians are calling for transparency and an independent investigation. Some believe these lapses could threaten national security and Ghana’s international standing.

In the second segment, the show will address *galamsey*. It will focus on the rising involvement of foreign nationals in illegal mining operations. Many of these individuals come from Asia and West Africa.

Recently, the government has deported some foreign miners as part of a crackdown on environmental damage.

Experts warn that deportation alone won't solve the problem. They suggest stronger border controls, better enforcement of mining laws, and cooperation with other countries are necessary steps.
