  Ghana belongs to all of us so it behoves us to ensure that henceforth probity and accountability are more than just empty political slogan.
  
  If y'all cannot put Ghana first at all times then you stfu when well-meaning Ghanaians are talking!

  Ada was completed successfully despite a few mistakes by the company. It has held the Ada sea in check for some time now.

  Money has been wasted on this project for decades. The people should be relocated to Bawku.

  Successive governments especially the ruling NDC has failed the people. Apart from the Rawlings era where some sea defense wall was built nothing has been added to it compared to the Central and Western regions where massive sea defense project has been constructed by the NPP government. The Volta region can't boast of a single fishing harbor or a landing site. This is a challenge to the NDC to walk the talk.

Why has the government not declared a state of emergency in the communities affected by the destruction of the forest reserves farmlands and water bodies in Ghana?
