Everything is in a sorry state under this clueless government, the stadiums are nothing to write home about, national theater is in tatters etc, everything, not only the Nkrumah memorial park.

I was at the Kwame Nkrumah memorial park a couple of months ago. I was disappointed and embarrassed as a Ghanaian showing this to foreigners. For a park which could rake in thousands of cedis per day and not have a serious maintainance team, is a travesty. This is clearly a good candidate for 24/7 just as it is done in advanced countries.

What do you expect when we are running to the IMF? A clear sign we cannot manage our affairs.

So much money has been spent on Kwame Nkrumah.The president must do the needful or else the Park will become a white elephant.

The Ghanaian is not genetically programmed to be civilised. We only spend years to build a simple edifice that will otherwise be built within months in a serious country, inaugurate it with pomp and pageantry with chiefs and dignitaries in attendance, relish it's sight for only as long as it looks beautiful, and leave it to maintain itself at the mercy of the weather. The Ghanaian is not patriotic. Most Ghanaians are not intelligent to understand patriotism. And this is not necessarily with the ordinary Ghanaian, but rather surprisingly, the leaders. Due to their greed, the ordinary Ghanaian who for example works at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial park is not well paid and so will resort to stealing from the gate proceeds. The stealing becomes a mantra, and it leads to deterioration like this one. The leaders steal and amass wealth, leave out their ordinary workers, and expect the workers to sit down calmly and be patriotic. That was why nkrumah was hard on thieves like these to the extent of throwing them into jail, but, what did he get, treachery, undermining, impudence, contempt and disrespect. Due to bad and corrupt leadership, every Ghanaian, even children, have become disrespectful. Let's continue with our foolishness.

Your NDC government left this facility and Asomdwee park to rot. This government has renovated the facility, increased the staff strength, who are to weed and do other manual works there. Public and civil servants in this country only complain without working.

Even his home town has been neglected how much more his cemetery. Even our hospitals lack medical equipments and serious matters are not attend to.

Why don’t we seek a private/public partnership so that there will always be money to put the place into good condition.

To my best knowledge, they collect entering fees from persons visiting the SITE and the purpose of the fees collection is to use those moneys for maintenance works...

Why then is the place falling apart so soon at this early stage.???

He is asking what is wrong with us Ghanaians...???

It's simple...
.....
Accountability and consequences are almost NONEXISTENCE in our Ghanaian society, that's how come the INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELLBEING of the facility can confidently allow it to fall apart.
After all, nothing is going to happen to him or her.

We as Ghanaians are so indiscipline by nature because of NONEXISTENCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

As a matter of fact, sometimes I really wonder how we can make remarks that, WE ARE PROUD GHANAIANS.....

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT MAKES US TO DECEIVE OURSELVES BY SAYING, WE ARE PROUD GHANAIANS....????

WHAT ARE WE PROUD ABOUT BEING GHANAIANS, apart from our STABLE SECURITY AND HARMONIOUS LIVING TOGETHER.

The current Director of the park must be dismissed immediately. He/she is not capable of maintaining the place. It is high time people should be prosecuted for negligence of duty. One cannot receive monthly salary and neglect the responsibility that goes with it.
