  I'm happy you're writing concerning such a situation in the Volta region. More happy when you said "I hope this is not anything new to you. But the situation is much terrible on the above road." Edey beeeee keke! Chant one more time. Until the Volta region stops it's tribal nonsense, things will continue to be terrible.

  Go to the western region- around the Sekondi-Takoradi municipality and you would see worst. Maybe you won't find school kids doing brisk businesses filling potholes but the roads are just as bad.

  Very sad when one comes to think that oil comes from that region and nationally, we have a government in place with regional ministers who are supposed to be caretakers of all regional infrastructures. A useless bunch of caretakers if you ask me. All they care about is lining their own pockets with their ill-gotten money from bribery and corruption.
  
  I wonder when the military will get fed up with all the rampant corruption and thievery by our officials and take over the reigns of the government, line all these corrupt politicians and officials up and shoot them. Fuck the the western world and their human rights mumbo jumbo. They don't live under these appalling conditions of human existence.

  Are our current leaders from the north telling us that we made a mistake voting for them?

  Writing about such issues are right but reading your article and comments given by people show that you all need to brush up on your English before joining a public forum like this. First of all using "am" instead of "I am" shows the writer's level of education, and as for the comments? OMG! its shameful how anybody can put words together to get unnecessary attention!!! I wonder what Ghana will be like in twenty years with these "educated illiterates" coming out of these schools? Does Mahama read these blogs and the responses? That is the answer to the kind of education we are giving to these young ones today. Who is to blame? Be smart people; and vote wisely for leaders who are ready to give accountability and are not afraid to learn from the best.ciao!

  Basia,
  
  Are you a teacher? You remind me of a teacher I had in elementary shool way back.
  He was a stickler for the correct spelling of words and their places in the construction of a sentence.
  
  As a matter of fact, he was the best teacher ever and the best thing that ever happened to me, education wise.
  Even the lecturers I met later in my university days couldn't touch this guy with a ten foot pole.
  I wasn't the only one who benefitted from his teaching. About 75% of my classmates gained entries into all three universities in Ghana (then) to persue various courses.
  I guess what I'm trying to say is that he gave us a good grasp of the english language that it didn't matter what courses(engineering, medicine etc) we took in the universities, we all excelled.
  These days, teachers at the formative levels of students' years are so worried about how they are going to put food on the table for teir families that they go into the classrooms not fully prepared, let alone devote enough time for their students to excell.
  
  The teacher has so much on his/her mind wondering when the next pay cheque will be coming.
  The past and current governments for the last 20 yearst have made better education such a low priority that our colleges and universities are churning out semi-literate graduates.
  
  So it's no wonder you see all kinds of english language levels in this forum. Sad to say, but I don't think we have to wait another 20 years before we start seeing the "educated literates". They are already in our midst. They are here in our midst as politicians, teachers, engineers, professors.... Do you see where I'm going with this? Or else how could Ghana have ended up with these political clowns running our country right now? We voted them into power to mess up country so how can we call ourselves "educated"
  
  Nice sharing this with you and a few thousands more, Basia.
  
  Get back to me if you wanna communicate.

  It is so sad when I see these children filling the deep craters (not potholes) that dot the roads in the Volta Region. How can these Ministers who ride in their large pajeros and 4 by 4 land cruisers sleep soundly at night after witnessing these poor children doing these dangerous repair works? Shame on you !!!!

  Right on Basia!
  
  Read some of my comments and you will see why and how glad I'm reading your comments.
  
  "EDUCATION" & "ACCOUNTABILTY" are the root causes of all our problems in Ghana.

  IF YOU READ ABOUT ROAD ACCIDENTS IN GHANA AND LIVES ARE LOST, SOMETIMES, THE BLAME LIES WITH THOSE WHO MUST UPGRADE THE ROADS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. WHEN ONE READS ABOUT GYEEDA AND OTHER ACRONYMS, ONE WONDERS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GHANA. BEFORE AND AFTER THE COLONIAL DAYS, YOU WILL SEE MAINTENANCE CAMPS ALONG MAJOR TRUNK ROADS WITH BOTH MACHINERY AND MATERIALS FOR REPAIRING ROADS. ANOTHER AREAS OF CONCERN IS THE LACK OF ADEQUATE ROAD SIGNAGE. I CAN GO ON AND ON WITH THE INHERENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ROADS NETWORK IN THE COUNTRY. OUR POLITICIANS HAVE GOT THEIR PRIORITIES MISPLACED AND LOOK AT PROJECTS THAT BRING KICKBACKS. IF DEATH OCCURS ON ANY ROAD IN GHANA DUE TO THE ROAD CONDITION, KNOW YOU KILLED THAT HUMAN BEING BY NOT DOING WHAT MIGHT PREVENT THE ACCIDENT. MR. MINISTER FOR ROADS, HAVE YOU A MAINTENANCE PLANS FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE AND HOW WAS IT PUT IN PLACE? YOU MUST KNOW THE CONDITIONS OF GHANA ROADS AT A GLANCE AND THE MAINTENANCE IS PRIORITIZED. WITHOUT THIS ANALYSIS, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT ROADS NEED ATTENTION FIRST AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST FOR REHABILITATION.
