The Accra Metropolitan Assembly must be firm and resolute in evicting all the squatters from this area. The Capital of Ghana is too filthy! Move all of them to Ho.

All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

With this kind of money, just about anybody who really wants to work should have some skilled and even unskilled labor opening. Sadly enough, majority if not all of these people seriously don't wanna work. To wake up in the morning and go clock in for a 9 to 5 job is evil for a typical Ghanaian. To laden themselves with heavy goods and struggling in the sweltering sun for a mere pittance is what they are cursed with. I say crush them all for good, and carry it down the path with these street hawkers - you vend you die!!! Take no prisoners mayor...

Accra Mayor Alfred Vanderpuije about to destroy NDC's legacy ?

The only legacy left behind by the NDC during the misrule from 31st December 1981 till 7th January 2001.

And what will Oye Lithur and his NDC cohorts, who fought tooth and nail to prevent the Kufuor administration to evict those settlers to enable the Korle Lagoon Ecological Restoration Project(KLERP)to see the light of day, do now ?

Instead of trying to make a different place for tourists, Accra needs to make it better on the beaches and not just clean up the lagoon. No one is coming to fish in Accra. If the beaches were cleaned up, they could surf fish. As for the people in the area, prices have squeezed them out of every other area and the city will have to set aside some property for them to live. That many people cannot be absorbed into the current areas of the city without huge problems. Many of the areas of the city that they had been in before have been fenced off and construction is taking available space. Oh Ghana, care for the neediest among you with your new oil riches! And stop calling the are Sodom & Gomorrah as that is the new name for the United States with Obama in charge.

One night a man and woman went to his house to have sex in Sodom and Gomorrah .when he stopped her to say "I still live with my parents and me and my brother share bunk beds so if you want to change positions say "Kenkey" and if you want to go faster say "Fish"

So they were getting it on and she was screaming "Kenkey, Fish, Kenkey, Fish, Kenkey, Kenkey"

Suddenly the younger brother (on the bottom bunk) said

"Could you stop making Kenkey and fish your getting the Pepper shitow on me"!

They should compensate them.They are not migratory birds.Birds even have homes.

Like everything Ghana, I bet there has not been any public review and or comment period nor has the public been privy to project architectural plans.
The government however, has a price value for the project and for all I am sure of as the sun rises and sets each day, someone in government has his/her profit margin already staked out of the pricey project.

An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction
site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian
guy, "you're in charge of sweeping." To the Scotsman he says, "you're in
charge of shoveling." And to the Chinese guy. "You're in charge of
supplies."

He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys
to make a dent in that there pile of sand. So the foreman goes away for a
couple hours. When he returns, he sees the pile of sand is still
untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The
Italian replies in a heavy accent, "I no getta broom. You tella the
Chinesea guy he inna charge ofa supplies, but he disappear and I could no
find him!"

Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and asks "Didn't I tell you to
shovel?" The Scotsman replies in his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did lad, but I
couldna get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinese in charge of supplies, but
I couldna find him!"

The foreman is really angry now, and storms off toward the pile of sand,
looking for the Chinese guy. Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from
behind the pile of sand and yells "SUPPLIES!"

Supplies is what gives the greedy bastards money.

....."As part of the city sanitation upgrade project, the Mayor has promised to transform the filth-laden Korle Lagoon in Accra into a modern pleasure and transport complex comparable to those in Paris".

WHEN PEOPLE START TALKING LIKE THAT, THAT IS WHEN WE SHOULD FEEL THESE PEOPLE WANT THE GHANAIAN POPULATION TO, LARGELY, REMAIN ILLITERATTE, and that THERE MUST BE A MAYORAL ELECTIONS COMING.

FIRST OF ALL, WHO ARE THE MAYOR'S AUDIENCE? HOW MANY GHANAIANS HAVE AN IDEA OF THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PARIS?

IS HE GOING TO TURN THE LAGOON INTO A TOURIST ATTRACTION, WITH PLEASURE BOATS AND TRANSPORT SYSTEMS.

IS HE GOING TO PROVIDE AN UNDERGROUND TRANSPORT SYSTEM, .....ALL FOR $600m.

IT IS SO ANNOYING WHEN IDIOTS LIKE THIS MAYOR, RATHER TAKES GHANAIANS TO BE FOOLS.

MAYBE HE IS RIGHT WE ARE FOOLS .... OTHERWISE WE WILL STRIP HIM NAKED AND PARADE HIM ROUND THE CAPITAL, FOR PROMISING SOMETHING HE KNOWS VERY WELL HE CANNOT DO.

Oko is again engaged in forced eviction of the poorest citizens --- the street hawkers, and the people of Old Fadama.

Why don't you rehabilitate them? We did that for Liberian refugees. We could use that camp for some of the inhabitants of Old Fadama who are Ghanaians. We could set up a modest housing scheme, with schools and job opportunities for the citizens of Old Fadama. The alternative is conflict, injury, loss of property and lives as the people of Old Fadama will naturally resist.

Oko should show compassion as he himself experienced within the American legal system when he was in deep trouble in the USA.

The unsanitary conditions in Sodom and Gomorrah is a national health hazard and a human rights issue that affect all Ghanaians. We should not allow that the rights of few Ghanaians who want to live in filth jeopardize the health and economy of the entire country. The rest of Ghanaians also have a "human rights" case not to allow few Ghanaians to get them sick. I'm from the Western Region, but Accra is our capital (similar to a living room)and a greater majority of outside visitors first go through Accra before visiting Kumasi, Temale, Cape Coast, Takoradi or Suyani. My only plea is that the squatters should be treated humanely and compensated according to the law.

It's all very well, but alternative housing has to be offered to these people, otherwise the problem will just shift elsewhere. Where will they live? I'm assuming no-one deliberately chooses to live in a slum if they can help it, so it means these people had no choice, that place is their home, it's the city's responsibility to rehouse them. Affordable housing for the poor, that's something the new government should be working on.
