  Whenever corruption in exposed in the GHS the assume a posture of semblance of hard work to hoodwink and divert attention of the public.It is all because of the PAC expose regarding the dubious auction sale of the ambulance.It is meant to take public attention off the saga.You don't issue alert when no case have been reported in epidermics.You only prepare in case of an epidermic as it common knowledge that cholera outbreak is most likely during the raining season.

  Peter Donkor, it is people like you worsening our plight. The solution is not education whatsoever.
  
  People are able to build compound houses in Ghana without toilets with impunity. Instead of enforcing the law the politicians resort to building KVIPs, and boast of how many they have provided.
  
  I tell you, Peter, KVIPs are the cause of open defecation. Have you entered one before? When you come out you need a drum of perfume! And will you get near one next time? I bet, NEVER! And surely you must attend to nature's call! So either you hide in the nearest bush or shit into a black polythene bag and fling it over the wall - wherever it lands is not your cup of tea.
  
  Peter, open defecation is the result of the inability to enforce our laws, the incompetence of Nana's government. Dont blame the one shitting in the open, for he must.

  Its disheartening to see the pressure and attacks on the health system and its managers anytime cholera strikes. However the bain of the problem lies in the sherking of resposibilities by the District Assemblies.
  The control of sanitation including both solid and liquid, proper drainage and enforcement of sanitation rules, regulations and laws is the primary responsibility of the District Assemblies. The 1% Dist.Assembly fund reserved for sanitation, hardly go into sanitation related activities. The role of the healthcare is stock piling of drugs and other consumables to react to an outbreak but the ultimate is premodal prevention where the Dist.Assembly is the main actor. Its high time the Dist.Assembly is held accountable for cholera and orher sanitation related disease outbreaks in the districts.
