  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

  BANNING OR REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE A HUGE MENACE: IT TAKES ONLY A STRONG POLITICAL WILL.
  
  To effectively implement a plastic ban in Ghana, consider the following suggestions:
  
  - *Develop a phased implementation plan*: Gradually phase out single-use plastics, starting with a ban on specific items like plastic bags, straws, and bottles.
  - *Promote sustainable alternatives*: Encourage the use of reusable bags, containers, and biodegradable products.
  - *Enforce the policy effectively*: Establish a robust monitoring and enforcement system to ensure compliance.
  - *Educate and raise awareness*: Launch public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about the benefits of reducing plastic waste and the importance of compliance.
  - *Provide incentives for businesses*: Offer incentives for businesses that adopt eco-friendly practices and products.
  - *Invest in waste management infrastructure*: Develop adequate waste management systems to handle plastic waste and promote recycling.
  - *Collaborate with stakeholders*: Engage with industry stakeholders, civil society organizations, and local communities to ensure a smooth implementation process.
  
  By learning from Kenya and Rwanda's experiences, Ghana can tailor its approach to suit its unique context and achieve success in reducing plastic waste.

  You're right, Ed. You took the wind out of my sale. The write-up is completely vague and cosmetic in terms of how the policy blueprint will be executed. I bet "we are still at the drawing table" will be their well rehearsed response if they are questioned about this. Mostly, it is the academia, public servants, and other technocrats that engineer such good policies and programmes. But politicians at the helm of affairs will usurp the originating source to claim political productivity. Yet, they will create a mess out of a potential success. As rhetorically profecient as most of these politicians can be, about 80% of them do not know a farthing of their responsibilities as government appointees. We often chide public/civil servants for being ineffective but, truth be told, they perform about 80% of the work of government appointees. Yet, these appointees claim the praise and apportion the blame to the "servants."
