We can't always blame the government for everything. Some people just don't care about their surroundings or the environment.

Is there any use for the city authorities if citizens are to blame for the filth? If a neighbour makes your neighbourhood filthy, do you beat him up? There must be someone paid to ensure people keep their environment clean.

This is the price Ghanaians are paying for electing leaders whose mentality is just to amass wealth at the expense of the ordinary Ghanaian voter.

Please let Takoradi keep its unique character. It's about the only major city in Ghana where you can find some serenity.

The dockyard men's room was always filthy because the workers never peed accurately to the drain. Every day the man who was in charge of sanitation at the dockyard would have to call in the cleaners to wipe off the mess inside the men's room.
After few months of bringing the toilet cleaners in, the budget was exceeding, bills piling up and the sanitation guy had to think of an alternative way to solve this daily problem in the men's room. So what he did was he called in a famous economist and explained to him the problem in the men's room.
The economist went away with this and after a couple of weeks came up with a possible solution to end this problem. He told the sanitation guy to paste little flies randomly into the drain and guaranteed this would work. The sanitation guy was surprised at his solution and he started to argue with the economist.
The next day, the sanitation guy came into the men's room only to find a clean healthy environment inside and that no one had peed outside the drain because everyone had been aiming at the flies in the drain!

if my memory serves me right, during the time of Philip Nkrumah, Sekondi-Takoradi was adjudged the cleanest city in Ghana. perhaps the city needed an Anthony Cudjoe, a retired military officer, to turn things around. SAD!

If citizens observe basic sanitation and personal hygiene practices then cholera and other sanitation related diseases will be prevented.

Keep Takoradi clean and make General Guggisberg proud in his grave. He designed Takoradi along the lines of an European city.

Save Takorad now. Sekondi and Essikadu are already derelict. The whole of Essikadu is a disgrace and need to be grazed down to prevent a major public health situation.
