She is certainly not a ministerial material and must be the first casualty in JMs first reshuffle. The streets of Accra are dark at night. There are no street lights, no reflectors on curbs, no street lane and crosswalk markings. Streetlights are not working. Aboboyaas and taxi tricycles (Mahama can do) have annoyingly inundated the city. Okada riders have pitched camp irritatingly at every junction causing nuisance in neighborhoods. The zongos are sprawling and spanning and spawning. Coupled with that Moslem muezzins irritatingly disturb our sleep at dawn with their call to prayers. Christians neither give us peace with their all night prayer sessions and noisy services. Not excluding the pubs.These are the things she should be checking to avoid disasters. Driving now in Accra at night is always a brush with death. The relevant ministries must be up and doing. The municipal assemblies are useless; supervising all this chaos and confusion and crisis.

@Frankie. I can not agree with you more. Well said. Honestly, it is a nightmare to live in Accra. Your description of the chaos in Accra is on spot. No wonder high blood pressure is on the rise all over. Unfortunately, our political leaders seemed not to care. Both NDC and NPP are all the same. The two parties are not there to improve our lives.

If voters sideline them for someone or a party with a vision and roadmap They would come back with real people who have the knowhow to turn issues around and not someone who will come think about his end of service benefit sleep in light when populace are in darkness and travel to school enhance to enhance himself and when a part talks about challenges going through party apparatchics will rain abuses on such a person cos the party is God and cannot sin and the party members are angels otherwise how should a title honourable be conferred on such person's?

She misspoke and not meant it as punishment for Northern regions in particular but as reference points of being far from initial working place in Accra. She should not have said it though. If you are transfer to another region from Accra immediately, it will disrupt and affect your family. So in a way , s form of punishment, which it should not be .

Section of Gas say Accra is Ghana and Ghana is Accra so those Gas including Linda Ocloo always look down on Ghanaians who come from other regions. Those Gas who are hustlers and have travelled across the country behave differently from those who have not. Clearly this regional minister is among those who have not travelled beyond their region. If she's travelled outside her region and still behaving the way she does, then she talks before she thinks. This isn't her first time and she spearheaded the change of KIA to AIA.

To those defending Linda Ocloo, do you folks understand the meaning or the role of a minister? I don't blame her because while some people see her pronouncement as offensive and demeanig, others are defending her trying to twist or polish what she said.

Ghana is not Accra and people should remember that if the capital is not in Accra, Accra wouldn't have been what it is. Also, the fact that one is not working or living in Accra does not make that person a second-class citizen or less a Ghanaian.

She's not going anywhere. Even though this is an insult to all Northerners including John Mahama, she doesn't see the need for any apology. Why ? Because Mahama is okay with that. When that lady insulted Apostle Eric Nyamekye, did you hear anything from Mahama or his government to the Apostle? No, because when it comes to women, Mahama don't want to mess up. Who even knows that all these women have slept with him already? And so he doesn't care. Let people take Northerners to the cleaners, let people use them as toilet paper, let people drag them in the mud, Mahama will never say a word....kwasea.

Who at all was telling the lady to go and apologise to Ya Na for what? This our Ghana is truly a shithole. Anything small then political capital. Equalization by the party in opposition. All these things are unnecessarily drawing this beautiful country back. People will sit on radio 24/7 and be opening their mouths over 360 degrees and be insulting all over. Why? If you know the problems just put the solutions forward to address them and stop disturbing us.

Exhibiting same arrogant ignorance about the north.The northern region is not representative of the north and neither is the Yaa Naa overlord of the whole north.Why do some apparently intelligent people automatically lose their ability to think laterally and ascertain facts before offering gratuitous advice which turns out to be just as bigoted in effect?

How many doctors including indigenes of the North go to take up appointments when posted there? If it is not a shit hole why do your own people refuse appointment to the North? You want equal respect and appreciation for the North then stop the constant fighting and killing. Which mother would agree to her son or daughter to be transferred to work among people who have no value for human lives. Ayariga sat here in Accra afraid to go home when his people needed him to go and stop the fighting in Bawku. Oya stop harrarsing the woman and look within yourselves. The truth often hurts, but Northerners must take it in good faith and reform the bad image they have created for themselves.

Ghanaians must stop chastising Linda Ocloo
for her statement about transfers to the Northern region .
When did become a secret that some administrators in the country maliciously transfer their opponents to certain regions in the country as a way to punish them. We should stop playing partisan politics with her statement and let’s move on .The minister has shown remorse for her utterance and let us move on.
