Mahama actually does nothing concrete. He only promises or threatens, that's all. He is the do-nothing president.
It's about time someone in authority speaks about this issue.

Paper and tree leaves, baskets and ghana must go bags can replace plastic. Ban plastic NOW! I want to eat katawodi3so waakye wrapped in tree leaf!

There are many things that need doing in Ghana. Mahama cannot enforce them. He's got no balls; only talks crap.
That baldie Julius Debra should replace "Useless John" Mahama. Debra has giant balls and can drive Ghana forward.
He should SHUT UP!!! You are the most insulted president in the world. How did it get to that? I am only twelve years but I have no respect for my president. What a shame. You are threatening to ban plastics? Start by banning ...

Mr.Dead corrupt goat,please ban corruption in your government before you ban plastic.
Mr Mahama, this is not part of your job. You don't have the right to ban anything. Advise the environmental minister to do the talking.

nope,you rather ban corruption.
Empty threat . Tell me what you have been able to do succesfull as President?
There is plastic everywhere in the world, so Mr President just build recycling plants to manage the plastics like any other country does. Banning plastic is not solution. Almost everything is made of plastics.
you can make more trashbags, truck mudflaps, door mats...anything not requiring virgin plastic
Ghana has to join the rest of the world in terms of effective recycling programmes. Recycling, and/or proper waste management programmes are not only good for the environment; they are also good for the economy because such e ...

Mahama shut up you can the country just bow out with your stealing spree Mr thief
Ban plastics, that had been my call for long, why should we be using a material that does not get rotten, untill we ban it there is no way we could manage sanitation.
IT IS USED TO CARRY FOOD, ALSO USED TO CARRY 'SHIT' IT BLOCKS DRAINS, THE FISHERMEN FIND PLASTICS IN THEIR NETS, THE WORSE IS PLASTICS IN THE FRIDGE.
MR DEAD GOAT.
THIS IS THE BY FAR THE MOST USELESS STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD.

Is good idea if the old system should be introduces again Ghana has been so dirty that you think beyond:
Have we forgotten there is something called Waste Management Processes.Do we have it in Ghana? WE are becoming a country of no thiners and intellectuals just acting on emotional sentiments.We need leaders who can put things i ...

Why don't you create a recycling industry for plastics and employ Ghanaians.That will be a better option.We live in a modern era not in the dark ages. Waste Collection and Recycling is big industry worldwide.
THE SENSELESS TALKATIVE,MAHAMAH IS DESERVES TO BE A WATCHMAN BUT NOT A PRESIDENT.
It's time the government stop paying for our hospital bills and supply each and every household with dustbin. Once there's dustbin everywhere, no one will steel someone's and also government should just setup more companies t ...

This is simple. Force the producers to buy back the empty bottle. People will make this a way of living. Let them build depots where bottles can be exchanged for cash. Deal with any company who fails to comply.
President should rather have talked about how we deal with the plastic environental problem than just banning. We already have nemployment problems in Ghana and cannot just compound it. The whole recycling business in Ghana n ...

A menace I always have bad dreams about could be a thing of the past if President Mahama can face the bull by the horn and ban the reckless use of plastics in Ghana.
Well if if if if, fact is Mr President has NO BALLS. He speaks aplenty but has no got the political will to execute anything we still await his solution to the energy crises way past his April deadline. Why did he appoint a P ...

Another opportunity to make speeches ... tee hee at least he did not lose his speech. Tell you what H E Pres Mahama has virtually NO BALLS to carry this out! Plain USELESS !!!!!
Another useless decision. Instead of dealing with your useless Ministers, your priority is on Pure Water. How many Ghanaians can buy bottled Mineral Water
MAHANI BOHYE-BA CAN NOT BAN NOTHING.
SUFFERING FROM INDECISION ALMOST ALWAYS.
GIVE US BREATHING SPACE MAHANI BOHYE-BA !
wen Rotterdam is building roads from used plastics products, u are banning dem. shame
When I proposed this ten years ago to Mayor Adjiri Blankson, it did not get any attention. When he attempted to implement it, there were threats by the producers. So this is the result, filth of enormous proportions.
Ewwww, He is so regressive! Ghana has a recycling plant, but this guy opens his mouth and blow fumes.
I always see this Mahama boy drinking water from plastic on his table whenever he's giving press conference, so what is he talking about. And what about bringing Judges out on sanitation day to arraign non-participating citiz ...

Just do it. Pepenyi1
Eeiiii pepeni again. Talking and talking no action. But has he got balls? NDC president at his talking best. Can this brainless guy ever stop talking?
Mr. President pick your phone and call Angela Merkel for advise. Plastic is black Gold and can subsisidize your energy deficit.
Accra alone is producing 3000MT of Waste per day enough to power the city.
Oh SHUT UP!!! You are the most insulted president in the world. How did it get to that? I am only twelve years but I have no respect for my president. What a shame. You are threatening to ban plastics? Start by banning the us ...
