  Aside from the Waste management factor, Ghana is becoming a nation that is not using its brains. This is what I mean: A nation where politicians, law makers "the haves" and the elite keep on buying VERY EXPENSIVE cars when there are no good roads nor gutters!! And there's no idea of consulting an area plan before putting up structures. Just because certain individuals have the financial power they start building with permission from their spiritual advisors or whoever they listen to, not specialists. No one checks on building codes and permits get issued to who can pay enough money. Can we start from the Association of Real Estate developers and the government authorities responsible for Town and Urban planning? Can they make sure there's plan for areas and buildings regardless of who owns them? That could also help save us all from emergencies. Today it is about floods but tomorrow it could be fire or other health situations. It is sad that monies we receive as a city and country for sanitation stay with the likes of Cecilia Dapaah and that short man president and their lawyers!!!! Let's be serious as a nation for once. Otherwise, lets stop this perennial theater of shedding crocodile tears during crisis of great magnitude caused by our own indiscipline and negligence!!
