  Good article. The country has no direction or planning. Road construction is not new in Ghana, but somehow we approach road construction in a crude way. No planning, no alternate motorable roads provided whiles new construction is done. Everything done basa basa byheart in the country.

  Sir, you have hit right on the head. the answer to this conundrum is simple; the political class do not respect us. Can they do the same thing to resident of East Legon, Abelemkpe, Airport, West Legon to mention but a few.

  I don't understand what we are waiting to see as a country before the right things are done. A whole community was asphalted, are we less human in this case?
  
  The earlier we wake up to do the right thing the better.
  Residents of Kasoa-Mallam, wake up and let protest for our roads to be fixed for us. Interestingly, Kasoa-Mallam is the only way to central and western regions. The whole structure, kasoa, mallam, tuba, Lamptey, the whole Awutu Senya district is neglected completely.

  THIS SITUATION CUT ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY. THE QUESTION I ASK IS IT THAT SHOULD ROAD CONSTRUCTION REDUCE PRODUCTIVITY? ALMOST ALL THE CONTRACTORS WORKING ON THIS BIG PUSH PROJECT ARE WORKING LIKE CIVIL SERVANTS. THEY START WORK AT 9AM AND CLOSE AT 5 PM. IN OTHER JURISDICTION CONTRACTORS WORK DAY AND NIGHT. ROAD CONTRACTORS CREATE ALTERNATE ROUTES FOR VEHICLES TO PLY, BY SO DOING IT REDUCE INCONVENIENCE AND STRESS TO MOTORIST. BUT OUR LEADERS ARE SO VISION LESS AND CLUELESS IN IMPLEMENTING POLICIES. NOTHING IS DONE IN GHANA WITH THE GHANAIAN INTEREST AT HEART. YES WE WANT DEVELOPMENT BUT DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL SUPPRESS AND INFLICT PAIN ON US IS NOT THE BEST. IF CARE IS NOT TAKING, THIS SO CALL BIG PUSH -WILL BE SORE PUSH. IT WILL JUST BE RETHORICS --- TALK TALK AS USUAL

  Thank you sir. God bless you now and always. What makes this worse is the hat th link roads that were done to.serve as alternative routes like the weija-oblogo-mallam junction is also terrible. The Kokrobite-old barrier route which could also help is that terrible. I always leave home before 5am but arrive to work late and as a result I have to suffer deduction from my salary. This Soo heat breaking and what makes it even heartbreaking I when you see V8 driving on the shoulders of the other road with their syreen nd never confronted by a police. I have to leave my comfortable home and perch somewhere else just to escape this nightmare from Monday to Friday. The reason why I can't even be a proud Ghanaian is this stress. I always get to work with severe headaches and look so tired. I hope the road minister get to Soo this and stops taking. The talking is just too much on this country. How I wish I could tag Jerry Ahmed for weija-Gbawe and Felix for Ga South.
