Sometimes, it looks like these people always want to say something just because they should talk. They are only expert in identifying problems only when they occur; never proactive yet cannot find solutions to even one. You are talking about technical issues to the wrong audience. Go out there and engage your engineers and researchers to find solutions to such problems, not to the ordinary kayaye person on the street.

What is the GNFS doing all this while? Carmichael are known to produce the best fire tenders there are and their technological know how and innovations are at the forefront of fire fighting. UK, Nigeria, USA, Dubai and all the major countries are using their tenders. Ghana have been using their tenders at KIA since Akyeanu bought them for us over 20 years ago. and they are still working for us. Why dont we stop this nonsense of testing this and testing that and just buy something we all know will work for the average Ghanaian? They have a proven track record. Yet again they have come to our rescue with this innovation to help us combat our fire issues. Pull your fingers out GNFS and for once do the right thing. Whose idea was it to acquire those stupid motor bikes anyway? You can keep on wasting Ghana's money so you can line your pockets but this time, we are all crying for something that will work so buy it for Ghana now.

One for every region to save Ghanaians of the indignation of our perpetual annual fire debacle. What is the GNFS doing all this while? Carmichael are known to produce the best fire tenders there are and their technological know-how and innovations are at the forefront of firefighting. UK, Nigeria, USA, Dubai and all the major countries are using their tenders. Ghana have been using their tenders at KIA since Akyeanu bought them for us over 20 years ago. and they are still working for us. Why dont we stop this nonsense of testing this and testing that and just buy something we all know will work for the average Ghanaian? They have a proven track record.

I saw this on the YouTube the other day. Illegal and dubious debt payments since the year 2000 could buy two or more of these powerful and life saving machines!!!

WHILE WE ARE AT IT, LET ME SAY THIS. WE ARE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. WE ARE ASLEEP WHEN THE ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ARE BEING BUILT, SOME BY REPUTABLE CITIZENS. A WHOLE AREA WILL BE RAZED TO THE GROUNG BEFORE THIS YOUR VEHICLE GETS ANY FOOTHOLD ON THE SITUATION. WE HAVE TO START FROM HOW OUR WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT TO EFFICIENTLY FIGHT FIRE, GHANA NEEDS FIRE FIGHTING MEANS INCORPORATED IN THE PROVISION OF WATER TO ANY MUNICIPALITY INCLUDING FIRE HYDRANTS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE AND SUSTAINED WATER FOR FIRE FIGHTING. OUR FIRE TRUCKS CAN DO VERY LITTLE TO FIGHT FIRE WITHOUT SUSTAINED WATER SOURCE AND EQUIPMENT. THIS SO CALLED INNOVATION IS USELESS IF YOU ASK ME. OUR LEADERS MUST SEE TO IT THAT WATER PROVISION AND DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT FOR FIRE FIGHTING FOR ANY COMMUNITY. MOST OF YOU WITH YOUR PHDS HAVE TRAVELLED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES, IS IT WHAT YOU SEE THERE? ARE WE PROGRESSING OR RETROGRESSING WITH THIS SO CALLED INNOVATION? GHANA MUST GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE PROVISION OF WATER AND DISTRIBUTION. WHAT STARTED IN THE OLD DAYS OF DOING THINGS, STILL PERSIST IN GHANA. WHEN SHALL WE DO THINGS THE MODERN WAY? IT IS ABOUT TIME!
