Was the minister not aware of the situation before the hospital decided on the line of action? Is her current stance not akin to giving the dog a bad name in order to kill it? Cheap politics at its zenith. Doctors are toying with patients but this minister's action is much more serious than that.

"Public Relations Officer at the Health Ministry Tony Goodman told Joy News the hospital administrators have been summoned to answer questions" What questions? Immature way of handling issues in the health sector just like the Doctor's strike. If this woman cannot handle the ministry she should be shown the wide opened door. Maybe cos she's a bootlicker she's an untouchable. Judging from her slopy output at the Environment ministry it was shocking to see that she was reassigned to the health ministry. Is the NDC bereft of capable people who can be appointed as ministers? Ghqana is suffering because of these incompetent ministers, their deputies, board chairmen who are only after their stomachs and that of the family, cronies and tribesmen, etc.

A new era has begun and a breath of the desire for a better Ghana has invigorated the people so no nonsense , selfishness , procrastination or greed by politicians and the bureaucrats will be tolerated no matter which party is blessed with the opportunity to lead. it is now very clear the stakes are much higher for ndc as if they loose in court be it a call for a runoff or outright award to npp the ndc and its institutions will be wiped out into the oblivion of history as they will all be investigated and jailed for the ongoing corruption, conspiracy and murder of mills not forgetting the looting of the national wealth so never again will the ewe hegemony rule the country . the npp on the other hand has it easy as all they will do if they loose is restrategize and bring in a younger generation of firery hard punching politicians like ken and sir john since its clear this incompetent amateur administration is at best a one term govt. the general lack of trust and confidence in this govt is more than just overwhelming so one asks how did they win the elections if it was not a matter of rigging or election engineering . most intellectuals of integrity and honor have distanced themselves this we see in the poor selection of ministers and appointees . they are so busy trying to blame others for their mistakes that they dont see its pointless . the latest drool is that the ahwois , totobi , duffuor and co are to blame for the general non performance in their previous mandate instead of admitting it were the hegemonic ewe incompetents likes fifi kwetey who held the govt to ransom.

You are such a disgrace to the nation. You came to power within hundred days and you agreed on huge bonuses to MP's. This has triggered other professionals to take a bite of the national cake and they are being demonized. You think the painful and countless number of years at the medical school does not count but compared to the days of campaigning to solicit our votes. Now even the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian does not matter. Roads left undone- see Kumasi to Accra, but you have enough money to fly hypocrites who call themselves men of God, disgracing Christianity to Israel but you allow your people to suffer. You go and bring cheap doctors from Cuba and lie that it does not cost you any money. No long term planning and piling on the debt for our children. If you have no instruction in history you do not have to look far to know what borrowing has done to developed countries life Greece, Spain and Iceland, what do you think will happen to Ghana in the not too far future. You thick headed, useless for nothing filled with arrogance and pomposity calling yourselves honourable. A day is coming when the Lord will hold all of you including your belly so called pastor, bishops and archbishops as well as the whatever honourables to account.

At least, a few readers on this forum use their brains to think, so PLEASE do not disgrace the NDC.

Who started a project to mitigate water shortage problems there? And when?
Did we not hate Atta-Mills, from the Central Region, as president since January 2009? Did he not use his intelligence to discontinue that project? Or, do you think he would allow Akufo-Addo to offer advice?

Must people like you always prove to the whole world that Ghanaians have no use for their brains?

The minister is not a health personnel, so shedoes not know the facility needs water.

She should go and fetch water for the hospital

Kwe Shirley, if you had worked in Prof. George Aryeetey's faculty at AU, you know you would have been a toast by now given your lackadiscal approach to duty at the Ministry of Health. You do not control the hospital authorities at Cape Coast, okay? The Administrators know what is best for the patients and the hospital. How can the doctors, nurses, labs and staff run a clean healthy hospital without water? Now you are gagging the hospital authorites from going to the media? Where is their freedom to freely speak out what is bordering them? Some of you "Team C" ministers are a disgrace to NDC. This is nothing but dictatorship under John Mahama in Ghana and it will not stand. No water, no electricity and you are taking ambridge with the Capa Coast Hospital authorities for alerting the public? What is happening to NDC and Ghana? Its a shame Shirley. Why don't you ask George for his opinion on this, at least he will tell you his candid view. Mee ne sane neh, eh, my people and NDC? Soa...ah! Shirley must go and gve way to a better health Minister. We have the men and they not have to come from NDC. Dr Francis Nkrumah, Akuosa, Efua Heese are all good people wo can help the health sector, John Mahama, listen to reason. We do not need Chinese or Israelis to come and help us at the Health Ministry. I will sa Dunk the Israellis, the man Bebe is going bananas in the Midddle East.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT POLITICIANS DELIBERATELY ABANDON UNCOMPLETED PROJECTS OF THEIR PREDECESSORS TO GIVE THEM BAD NAMES. UNFORTUNATELY THIS ABERRATION FROM THE RIGHT COURSE COMES BACK TO HAUNT US. MADAM MINISTER, JUST ACCEPT THE INEVITABLE AND CONVINCE YOUR CABINET TO FIND THE FUNDS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE 26 MILES OF PIPES,ETC AND QUICKLY COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

We would say once again that, the NDC gov't is not serious when it comes to development of the nation. How can there not be clean water in a whole major hospital such as the central regional hospital? And the issue is the processes had been initiated to fix the problem as far back as 2008 by the Kuffour administration. So what happened?

It boggles the mind to have such ineptness pervade our national psychic the way it does in Ghana.How can we allow those who are entrusted with the upkeep of our national affairs justify the siphoning of benefits,a la ex-gratia payments, at our expense when good running water is unprovided for even at our hospitals?
What would it take for us Ghanaians to stand up and denounce such omissions of care for the common good?Look God would not descend from Heaven to help 'cos He has given us gray and white matter in our heads, and for some reason, if we cannot muster the gull to use it, them woe betides us all.

Please, no party polities these time, please stop it, the country Ghana is in serious problems. What can we do to ratify the situation? suggestion, engage the fine Ghana army forces for assistance, the government of the day must, appoint some of well trained, educated, experience, competent and disciple to the field. Actually, there is no shortages of dedicated and hardworking army officers in Ghana, so where not seek their participation?
The officers should head sensitive ministries such as, yes, Health, Finance, Energy and Gas, Water supply, Agriculture and Harbour operations, also that of regional commissions.Ghanaians, please it's time to experiment and stop complaining and finger pointing.
The nation needs the army forces in times of crises and believe it or not, they are willing and ready to assist, but not in cheap disgraceful manner, inviting officers to stage coup, and do not think about what your country can do for you first, rather what!!!!!!!!!!!!! please.
