How is this possible? Is the market located right by the road side? What is happening in Ghana?

Markets are located by the road side in Ghana . What is the assembly man thinking? Speed ramps? The market should be removed from the road side . When JDM says he will construct new expresss road from Accra to Kumasi, he had in mind of these markets that are all located by the road side. I believe the new express road won't allow speed ramps, filling station and markets to spring around it. Anyway, my deep condolence to the bereaved family , Don't allow family members to sell by the road side.

All these accidents indicates that something is fundamentally wrong in Ghana. We need to sit down and rethink how to proceed as a nation. The country is too disfunctional.

Akuffo Addo and the NPP party have not yet explained the brutal killing of the Hon. MP (JB Danquah-Adu), but you want somebody to explain stupid things to you. Go and ask Akuffo Addo to tell you how his first wife died, and ask him why he has firmly decided never to mention that woman's name anywhere in his life

What kind of nonsense is this. These things are as result of reckless driving. Because people don't go truth the due diligence before getting driving licence. If you kill someone your license should be withdrawn from you. You shouldn't drive after 5years and even before you drive, they should conduct psychiatric test for them .

Mr Smith, you have made things easier for me to understand that as a nation, we are the ones killing ourselves. How I wish I could post a video on this platform about a tro tro I boarded that had a huge hole through which any passenger could see the street on the floor of the vehicle. To my surprise the roadworthy sticker had been renewed.

There are many markets located right at road sides in many places in Ghana. We have two of such markets on Anwiankwanta Yamoransa road. Something serious must be done before a disaster occurs.
