History has shown that govt is not capable of running transport business. They should privatize, regulate, and give tax breaks to individuals to run it. Government shout stay out of the transport business.

Just like NDC sold pickups foe 1000 cedis. 2 months ago

We don't have short memories. A certain sitting MP bought almost brand new pickup trucks for 1000 cedis, and selfishly bought 9 and packed them in his house at golf city. That was under NDC.

And they move hundreds of millions of people each day...

OFORI-ATTA AND AKUFO-ADDO ARE CRIMINALS AND MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH
THE VERY MOMENT OFORI-ATTA STEPS ON THE TARMAC AT KIA, HE MUST BE HANDCUFFED, BUNDLED, AND MARCHED BACKWARDS TO A GHANA POLICE COUNTERBACK LIKE ALL OTHER CRIMINALS ARE.

OFORI-ATTA IS NOT A GOD WHO MUST BE WORSHIPPED ON ARRIVAL IN BANKRUPTED GHANA. THE SAME APPLIES TO CRIMINALS LIKE AKUFO-ADDO AND SEDINAM TAMAKLOE.

SINCE 1957, GHANA'S ECONOMY HAS BEEN BLED BY THE VERY CRIMINALS WE ENTRUST OUR ECONOMY TO, AND REMUNERATE GENEROUSLY, BUT THEY'RE ALL CRIMINALS AND DO NOT DESERVE OUR RESPECT ONE BIT.

THERE MUST BE A DEADLY BLOODY REVOLUTION IN GHANA TO STOP ALL THIS NONSENSE VISITED ON US BY GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS. THEY ARE NOT GODS.

OFORI-ATTA'S ASSETS, INCLUDING THOSE OF AKUFO-ADDO, MUST BE CONFISCATED TO THE BANKRUPT HIGHLY-TAXED TOILING POOR FUCKED UP PEOPLE OF GHANA, REGARDLESS OF TRIBALISM OR SOCIAL STATUS.

Quite simply this was not an auction.It was blatant looting and theft in disguise.Everyone connected should be arrested at once and locked up. The scrap metal alone in any bus of that size is worth a lot more than that.

I think this transport crisis can be solved within days if government wants to. Just get the train engineers working with Ghana railways in collaboration with mechanical engineering students to repair some old train engines and put them up on some routes like Accra to Nsawam , then gradually find private investors in Ghana to run this limited facility and then they will gradually revamp the railway system. Just look at the Tema oil refinery miracle and kick start the railways. I will also appeal to the government to do same with VALCO.Do not sell this assets to foreigners.

@CKA,

Your suggestion is a good one, but how practical is it?

One thing: a train is not made up of only mechanical components, where it would suffice to fix some bolts and nuts and the get it running. You know I'm not talking about Stevenson's steam engine

Modern trains are a universum of its own and consist of mechanical, electrical, electronics, mecha-tronics (combination of mechanics and electronics, like relays, actuators), hydraulics, micro-processors, computer software and hardware, to name a few.
Therefore e one need a set of professionals from various disciplines to maintain a trains. That is why we have specialized companies that have trained professionals to maintain the trains.

Students are very good on paper, but out of place in real orld maintenance of trains.

Another point: do you kno that ove 70% of the rail tracks are either stolen, completeldy rusted, destroyed by galamasey, engulfed by thick forest?

If not do some research and find out. I'l tell you to go to a place calle 'LOCO' or Location in Sekondi to visit the central train repair workshop in Ghana, but go there with a handkerchief or Tempo tissue paper, because you'ld cry like you are at a funeral!!!

So I'd complement your suggestion: first govt should maintain the rail tracks and upgrade from the narrow guage to the standard 1435 guage, so that we can use any modern train from Europe. Govt MUST be the ONLY owner of the entire track system in Ghana.

Private companies should run the train services, to make it more efficient and profitable for the investors. These companies would then pay to the govt, for the usage of the tracks.

Sad, but govt cannot run any efficient train service in Ghana: the CEO, Managers and workers would DESTROY it as they have been doing to all govt enterprises: steal all the parts, money, award very dubious contracts to their proxy companies, just to exploit govt and get away with it.

Let's all study the progress and history of Ghana from Nkrumah's overthrow in 1966. Political Party offshoots from Nkrumahist ideology always plan, build, and develop the nation. However, whenever Danquah/Dombo offshoots assume power, they abandon and destroy projects started or built by their predecessors. They've never built even one single university, but they always try to name the ones built by others after their devilish political and family forefathers. Ghana was producing almost all basic items, such as toothpicks, canned tomatoes, radios, glass, shoes, sugar, and numerous others. Where are all those factories now? GIHOC factories, Asutuare and other Sugar factories, Aboso Glass Factory, etc. Ghana was even at the doorstep of building a nuclear power plant, but nation-wreckers put a stop to it, and their foreign accomplices stole all the equipment. What a shame!
NPP, as an offspring of the devilish ideology, continues to advance these degressive policies.

Give us a break with all these investigations. What are the results of the ECG containers that are claimed to be missing from the port? What did Jinapor say at a time? Or was he then looking for favour to become the energy minister?

This one, too, I put my head on the chopping table. Nothing will come out. Even if something is found, nothing will be done.

You these Politicians should apologize to Nana Konadu Rawlings and the PNDC should apologize to those they killed in the name of corruption. This is because the corruption going on amongst these political parties are behind every human understanding. They are stealing everything they can all because the other party did the same. O Ghana when will our leaders have common sense.

DID BAWUMIA AS THE VICE PRESIDENT THEN KNOW ABOUT THIS . IS HE AN ACCOMPLICE OR CLOSED HIS EYES IN ORDER NOT TO SEE ANY UNPLEASANT SITUATION. IS THIS THE PERSON THAT WANTS TO LEAD A POLITICAL PARTY AND BE PRESIDENT. IF HE WASNT AWARE, IT SHOWS HIS SUPER INCOMPETENCE, IF HE WAS , AN ACCOMPLICE. ISNT IT AN INSULT, BAWUMIA WHO WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT IN THE PREVIOUS GOVERMENT THAT STOLE HUNDREDS OF MILLION OF DOLLARS SAY HE WAS THE MATE AND THAT WE SHOULD VOTE FOR HIM TO BE PRESIDENT. THE MOST STRIKING THING IS THIS. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE STOLEN MONEY AND ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION SUPPORT HIM. WONTUMI, KEN OFORI ATTA, ADU BOAHEN, GIFTY OWARE, MUSTAPHA HAMID, THE LIST GOES ON. I WAS SO ASHAMED WHEN I SAW WONTUMI CAMPAIGNING FOR BAWUMIA. THE CANDIDATE THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THIEVES AND CRIMINALS. CAN YOU TRUST HIM WITH GHANA. A GROSSLY CORRUPT BAWUMIA. YOUR CORRUPT DEEDS WOULD SOON COME OUT. YOU WILL GO TO JAIL BAWUMIA

This is what both parties have been doing . It is not new thing. You stand behind the law and damage the country. Bawa and Co in the first administration of Mahama did the same. Don't come and insult our intelligence.
