Jimbo and Kweku Tee, excellent submission. From my angle, there's a question. Why are the gutters and drainages left uncovered? Our misleaders travel abroad on a daily basis. They have their children schooling out there so th ...

Until Ghanaians learn not to liter, that is how it should be. I call this localized engineering based on behavior of locals. I was asking which engineers were dumb enough to cover gutters from Achimota new station to its near ...

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own .life or someone's .life with medicine. For instance 15 tramadol at once.....or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Yaw manu you have proved that Ghanaians have low IQs,you thought you were wise not knowing you have exposed your foolishness,opened gutter smells 10x worser than a closed one,if you have a rubbish bin that is not closed vs a ...

Nincompoop. You are thinking from your anus. How do Ghanaians who will litter anyway clean up closed gutters after they have chocked them with rubbish.
They can be cleaned like many other places do,open drainage smells 10x worse than closed ones ive experienced both smells,you are just used to the smell so you cant smell it,they are also an eyesore,we dont need this in Ghana ...

Yeah I certainly don't understand what Yaw Manu meant - I am not even sure if he himself understands what he posted.
I never ever throw away litter anywhere no matter the situation so you dirty people should enjoy your dirty lives.
Go to manilla Phillipines and see. Gh leaders are jokers
I disagree with your assertion. Most gutters in Rwanda are not covered but they are clean so why? This is because of the discipline there. If throw rubbish and you are caught, you will be made to clean the entire gutter. Plea ...

This is not politics, it about discipline. Discipline starts at home and extends to the community. If the community celebrates indiscipline, there will be indiscipline in that community, but if the community abhors indiscipli ...

When you feel like pooping, you don't just poop anywhere because you don't see a toilet near by.
That foolish boy should have been made to join in clearing the gutter for the next 1 hour
Well done and this will reset the boys brain. Too much indecipline. The government should also provide small dust bins along our various streets especially the busy streets or markets areas.
There used to be garbage bins along road sides in many cities and towns in Ghana which were stolen by these miscreants who go round looking for scraps. Metallic Road Signs and Gutter covers were stolen at night.
We are so quick to push our problems to the underprivileged/poor in our society,have we ever found time to ask why they violate sanitation rules?Why shd waste collection be a problem and so expensive in our cities?Does our g ...

Please I can say 60% of ur public littering is done by so called down trodden. Just check on all those selling and cooking by the roadside and u will see the drains infront
Asempa, you are right and on point. Kweku Tee stated that why should sanitation become a problem to the poor and I like that observation. Please go round the country especially Accra and check where all those CCTV cameras are ...

My brother what are saying is 100% right but some people still would put the rgarbage on the ground instead of putting inside the bin
B4 Kufour came in 2001 sanitation was a huge problem in our cities, cleanliness wasn't a priority to NDC Govt. Fmr Pres. Kufour quickly bought into the ideas of Mr Kwabena Agyapong, Zoomlion when he brought modernisation of w ...

Indiscipline of the highest level. Its a good lesson for the young man.We need city guards in Accra and Kumasi to stop gutter littering. Offenders should be made to pay a fine and can use the amount to pay these guards
Over to Asiedu Nketiah and all those calling for Military coup. You ain't seen nothing yet
Gh leaders are fools if you want people to stop littering you don't fo this. Only fools can't seem to copy. Even monkeys copy. Heard of singapore?
Stupid soldier. Where are the rubbish containers for the man to use?
KWASI, you are insinuating that the soldier should direct his anger at the city authorities and I agree with your statement to the core. Especially the assemblies. They go round looking for uncompleted structures and paint ST ...

That drain needs some quick emergency maintenance otherwise the road will not survive the next intensive rain
@Sage, I 100 percent agree with you. That gutter should be covered immediately.
Don't blame the soldier man but blame your kokoase brothers and sisters who flooded Accra from a village no gutters and roads
Agbeli, the capital used to be in Cape Coast meaning that Accra was underdeveloped. Have you asked yourself why the capital was moved to Accra? Was it for development purposes? Certainly NO! It was for political reasons by th ...

I am honestly enjoying the wonderful comments and statements from most of the contributors in this comments section. You guys are brilliant and can create a very interesting platform on national issues. Bravo and well done.

Hello Yaw Manu, I used to do that back in Ghana but let me please ask you a question. Shouldn't there be litter bins at those tro tro pick up points or bus stops? The city authorities are just being lazy and unproductive.
True oo. You are right. Quick available litter bins would have prevented most people from littering because most people really don't want to litter but end up doing it because we humans exhibit herd behavior.
If dustbins will be stolen why not build concrete ones and place plastic bin bags in them to be replaced at regular times. We have to be innovative. Secondly we need land fill sites outside the city and more watste trucks go ...

Wow. Smart sustainable solution. I like it.
Yes this is what we need . Ghanaians are dirty and indisciplined. We need to crack the whip, set up systems to punish those who throw rubbish into the streets. The indiscipline is too much . What kind of country is this ?
The government must give sanitation and refuse disposal top priority. The piles of rotting rubbish is a terrible health hazard and an eyesore.
THIS IS THE LANGUAGE BLACK MAN UNDERSTAND AND IT'S SERVE HIM RIGHT. NEXT TIME HE WANT THROW DEBRIS HE WILL REMEMBER THAT DAY AND NEVER REPEAT IT . DEMOCRACY IS THE ENEMY TO THE BLACK CONTINENT

Human Rights people please attack the soldier for me. Hahahaha.
I'm shocked, for the first time seeing entire thread of comments without insults. Kudos to all commentators
Moral,you Need No permit to Do That.great
The government should keep an eye on the abobo yaa rubbish collectors. One of them informed me they have nowhere to dump the the refuse, so I presume all of it is bring dumped in the drains.
Bravo, soldier man. This is what we want, but that is what criminals and indecent people hate, facing the consequences of their actions. Our actions must have consequences.
Meanwhile, this guy will one day tell his descen ...

Heartless soldier,.. two wrongs foes not make right
So why can't these gutters be covered up
The engineers knew that covering up those gutters and drainages would create worse catastrophic flooding situations. Litter from the populace will choke entry points leading to less and less water passing through. Cleaning up ...

Well done officer
This will sanitise the system. No more elections for DCEs. Just appoint Soldier with rank of Major and above to manage the local assemblies. Then a General as minister of local government. Our problems will be fixed
Perfect suggestions. Discipline will be at its highest with that setup.
That’s the way to go
Untill Ghana starts covering gutters,drainage system will always be chock. Why was the young guy not given glove to wear?Too much stupidity in Ghana.
The indesepline in our country Ghana needs to stop, it must as well start from the (TOP AS WELL FROM GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL) dawn period
Good job Mr military man
Bad attitudes die hard. This is why we teach civic education from the beginning. Waste management is collapsed!
Do our schools teach "CIVIC" education today? Just asking. At times, some short cuts to are very dangerous.
Give that soldier a medal already! After that, let's see how we can get soldiers in to our cities and towns to instill discipline in stupid people like that young man.
This is the appropriate treatment for people who litter the environment. Anyone who sees this video will be advised not to try that nonsense of always discarding rubbish into the gutters which usually lead to the choking of ...
