  Hmmm, everything is going up in Ghana when it comes to cost. Can the Government, Religious Bodies, and Philanthropists help with the building of Hostels for students? Who helps maintain such Hostels? Students don’t take good care of rented places and the cost of maintenance is always going up.

  THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS. HERE WE HAVE STUPID LEADERS WHO LEAVE EVERYTHING IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS. THEY ARE NOT CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS!!! GOVERNMENTS MUST JUST NOT BE SITTING AND COLLECTING TAXES. THEY MUST PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, ROADS ACCOMMODATIONS, WATER SUPPLY, COMMUNICATIONS AND SO ON. PRIVATE SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, HOSTELS AND SO ON ONLY SEE MONEY, MONEY AND MORE MONEY IN THE POCKETS OF THOSE WHO PATRONIZE THEM. THEY DON'T CARE WHETHER YOU ARE EDUCATED, WELL ACCOMMODATED OR CURED FROM YOUR ILLNESSES. THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY WHICH NEVER SATISFIES THEM. THAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS THE ENGINE OF GROWTH IS A SCAM AND FALLACIOUS. THESE SAYINGS ARE COINED IN BY THE SAME POLITICIANS WHO STEAL THE NATION'S RESOURCES. IT IS AN AVENUE FOR STEALING AND LOOTING. SO WHAT DO WE DO? GOVERNMENT MUST BUILD MORE ADEQUATELY RESOURCED SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, HOSTELS AND SO ON. PRIVATE PEOPLE ARE JUST IN BUSINESS TO EXPLOIT PEOPLE. THEY CREATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY PROVIDE BETTER SERVICES BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY USE TO STEAL FROM YOU. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS MUST NOT JUST BE MOVING FROM PLACES TO PLACES CREATING THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE WORKING. THEY MUST USE THEIR BRAINS!!!!

  The firces of Supply and Demand will always determine prices! Any attempt to undermine that will lead to chaos in the market!

  Rent control should take this exercise seriously.Some of us would not have graduated in the late 80s if this situation were the case.ucc is another place where students are charged as if there is no tomorrow

  Is it by force? If you can't afford it, stay away!
  You won't understand, because you have not even built a chicken coop!
  How many people can pay for and own the so called government's " affordable homes?
  Silly buggers.

  The building is yours and because it is yours then you charge such huge amount of money for the students to pay. There is no humanity in the world again. Cheating, evil and wickedness all over because of greed. Why?
