  The suggested names are polarizing names. It will turn into political football.

  A government that has sensible people will use this sanitation brouhaha to create jobs for the idle hands in Ghana. With good pay, there are thousands out there who are willing to go for it. Mahama should use this opportunity to create jobs, jobs because that voluntary service will not last that long.

  These Nkrumahists still think that Ghana in the year of our Lord, 2015, is still communist. When you have teeming millions unemployed, willing to brave the heat of the Sahara desert to go to other countries to clean the whiteman's garbage because they cannot find jobs in their country of birth, why would you not employ and pay them good money so they will stay at home?
  
  Has the learned Dr Antwi-Danso sat down to calculate how much it costs Ghana and Ghanaians to stop whatever they are gainfully doing to go clean the streets on out of every 30 days. Let me tell you how much. It costs Ghana 1/30th of Ghana's GDP generated every month, okay. Just figure that out in dollars and cents and you will quickly stop encouraging those praising this crazy idea.

  WE THE PEOPLE OF GHANA WASTE MUCH TIME ON UNNECESSARY THINGS, MOSTLY FROM THE GOVERNMENT, NOW LOOK ANTWI DANSO IS CALLING FOR NATIONAL DAY FOR SANITATION. THE QUESTING IS, WHERE IS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT STANDS ABOUT THIS SANITATION, WHY CALLING FOR SUCH A DAY. MY SUGGESTING IS LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD HIRE ADEQUATE PEOPLE TO BOOST THE EMPLOYMENT THROUGHOUT GHANA INSTEAD WASTING A DAY TO OBSERVE NATIONAL SANITATION DAY. I THINK THIS IS NOT SMART IDEA

  The term 'National Sanitation Day' should in the first place not to be coined at all to have a place in our society. Years back, people who lived in rural areas were with brains to organize thier communities to do communal labour in their villages to enhance their enviornment.
  
  This cannot be done in our urban and cities where majority of these people pay taxes to the government to hire people to do the work on their behalf. If the government is using tax payers money for its unnecessary business, then coming out with this useless programme will die a premature death.
  
  Recently in the capital city of Malaysia - Kualalumpu, some private individuals gathered themselves and raised money to pave the potholes in the cities deplorable roads. The Mayor of the City stopped these group and told them that whilst the tax payers pay their taxes which the government is aware, it is the responsibility of the government to make sure that tax payers money is used to their advantage. He assured the group that whatever bottlenecks that are making it impossible for that job to be done would be rooted out completely. Antwi Danso should speak directly to his friend Okoe Van. also a Phd holder that, residents pay their taxes and either he hires people or the people under his department hits the road and communities and do that job. We are tired of all these nonsense.
  
  Sitting down to use your acquired degrees in deep thinking to solve pertinent issues, you are lauding a failed government of this useless agenda. No wonder, we have fools like Fiifi Kwetey boasting of their academic achievements whilst a college drop-out American Bill Gates has turned faeces into good drinking water and electricity. NOW WHERE ARE OUR SO CALLED PHD HOLDERS AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS TO TALK ABOUT? E&OE.

  Firstly, Sanitation in Ghana could create sustainable jobs for millions, secondary why name it after Nkrumah or Rawlings, thirdly there is no such things in ZA as 90-94 munities of ...days Mandela lived on earth. its 67 munities of good will to mankind, this so call Dr Antwi must research why 67 and think before opening his mouth and talk rubbish in public. Ghana is fitly and its all our responsibility to keep it clean. Why bring ex politicians in it. National hero's....excuse me. Ghanaians will be happy to get to another country and clean someone mess, why cant mahama use his head and create jobs for those who cannot go clean the street in foreign countries.

  Why do we allow people to patronise us and treat us like idiots? We pay taxes and expect the govt of the day to do its bit. Govt budgets millions of dollars for Health & Hygiene, where is the money. Street cleaners should be paid and people who litter fined. In UK there are "litter police" (my words) who walk round with camera attached to their body to record culprits and use as evidence and fined them. Stop forcing and treating people like prisoners who you can order to do whatever! What is volunteerism this doctor is talking about? By the way do we know how much it cost to get this day organised and getting the big people involved? Look at all the security they carry around when they join in, how much does it cost? Decentralise ooooooooh!!!

  If we had a very responsible government, the national sanitation would not be needed.This is not seen in any civilised world since the gvment has to employ for that sector.

  Oh Dr Nantwi Danso this communist mentality cannot wash in this modern Ghana The assemblies are suppose to employ people to clean the environment What are the market tolls meant for? The major duty of the assemblies is to keep the environment clean by employing people and supervising them to clean the environment . Forcing people to work on Saturday is illegal and slavery to say the least!!
