Mr.President, there is no need to quote quotation from the Bible.Action speaks louder than words.What is the minister of local government doing and the DCE of that area must be fired.He is not doing his job well period.We are wasting our tax payers money on these people for no job done.

it all started few years ago when i received a Facebook message that a travel agency in Lagos Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and was sleeping under a bridge with some other homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs and guns were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had nobody and lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and deported to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please help me with any amount you can spare so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through Facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on Facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

Where are the “DUMPING SITES “ and the TRASH BINS”? Encourage Ghanaians to make use of Polythene Bags.Employ people to the markets, fishing harbour, lorry and car parks to Educate people how to dispose waste. It’s common sense and doesn’t need millions of cedis or $dollars

In Ghana we are not ashamed of showing our slums and poor hygienic living standard to tourists. A good example is Jamestown. Much of the Kenkey we eat in Accra are produced in Jamestown under extremely unhygienic conditions. In Addis Ababa (Ethiopian) the slums were demolished and replaced with modern apartment buildings. Similarly, in Kenya the biggest slum in Nairobi called Kibera was leveled to the ground and replaced with modern high rises apartment buildings. In Ghana on the other hand, our slums are expanding. A good example is Fadama in Accra. The living condition there which I saw on the internet is just unbelievable and inhumane. We are lacking leadership in Ghana.

I can tell you that even in the villages, they know how to dispose of garbage than those living in the cities.

Sanitation is a big issue in Ghana and Accra specifically. I suggest that the assemblies and municipalities be resourced to take care of sanitation locally. This is a local government issue and the government is not doing well in this aspect. Ghanaian communities and residences are without gutter! No good or motor-able roads. The government is only focused on major roads or trunk roads or roads that just lead through he community and that is all. While the inter-community road network leaves much to be desired. Even the so called 'big men' live in such deplorable road and sanitation residences/neighborhood. I remember Nana Akufo Addo promising one million dollars to every discreet during his pre-first term. What happened? What about the current government (NDC) that actually initiated the decentralization? However, almost every road contract, building etch is determined centrally. There is the need to strengthen supervision at the local level, resourcing the assemblies and municipalities to be able to monitor, supervise and build roads, gutters, provide refuse collection bins, engage in the collection and treatment of waste (either by the assembles having a subsidiary waste collection and treatment company or contracting this function out to well resource private companies, though the best is for the assembly/district or municipality to have a share in this waste & recycling company.

The problem is that the people who are unsanitary are the people in Ghana who do NOT read ghanaweb news, or watch TV, so they continue to be nasty people because they are ignorant about what we are discussing. They don't know what the rules and regulations are. We have to spread the rules and regulations through loud speakers around town. Just as the preachers are in every corner preaching.
Spread the word where they are using cars or trucks with loud speakers in the neighborhoods. Ignorant people do ignorant things !

When things go right, you claim the credit so things go wrong, then it's your fault. So fix it.

The poster face of a scammer and cheer leader in hate speech and tribal bigotry - do you remember Akyem mafia by scammahama, aka gonja mafia? Do you know the sole aim of NDC? The purpose of ndc is to take economic and political power from the Akan - quote Pro. Kofi Awonor.

Are you seeing what we are seeing?

Abu Trica used internet to steal from foreigners and gonja mafia is using his brother and family members to steal from poor Ghanaians.

Such concerns are not to be expressed in the church. The President should have summoned all the ministers and government appointees responsible for the issue in Tema New Town to answer questions and even ask some of them to step down. We need toilets, recycling facilities and good dumping facilities. Please Mr. President make sure your ministers and appointees are doing their jobs properly in order to ensure our country is not being destroyed.

The problem lies with Ghanaian citizens who are ignorant and illiterate. They dump household waste into gutters, use beach front as their toilets and above are filthy people in general.
Country full of retarded people.
