You are both nutters. Corruption and get rich quick mentality in Ghana is the reason and both parties are responsible.

Every civilized person in this world
can be afraid of a thief, arm rober,a
murderer and diabolical idiot which
Tsikata is one, that is why we have
Police whose duty it is to protect us
from Tsikata and his NDC bunch of criminals and that is why prison is
built so that we can quarantine all
those criminals. Tsikata must be
sent to quarantine and be forced to
stay out from the community, it is
because of that we the civilized citizenry are scared of Tsikata not
for any other reason. OK!! check it out...

When Ghana wakes up and puts an end to these so called masons making cement blocks on location without inspection, without performing slump test on the cement, immediate improvement will be seen. Blocks made of just sand and cement without an aggregate such as lime stone, lack of sufficient water makes for an unsafe block. Proper building inspections, safety measures, use of a code such as the Boga Building Code will solve this problem for the most part. There are such things in life that you just cannot afford to short cut.

We need to change the way we build or the way we make the cement blocks. Why not build all the pillars with iron and concrete, then use wood for the sides and dividers?

I think that what people need more than anything else in this country is some lashing by cane and not education. The superficial education we have been exposed to, has proved to be largely ineffective, useless, counter-productive and a monumental waste of money and resources.

Accra need to be safe from so many things and I believe the current Mayor is tired and cannot move the city and the general people of Accra to the next level.

Kojo Bonsu will fix Kumasi so will a new person fix Accra.

Believe me, no Mayor appointed for Accra or Kumasi or for that matter, any district capital in this country, can do anything to improve the prevailing pathetic conditions of out towns and cities. Until the day Mayors are elected into office, we will continue to have these mentally retarded types imposed upon us to run our cities down into more backward conditions.

All our govts come in and look at the most desperate ass-lickers amongst their midst and appoint them as Mayors and District Chief Executives only with the aim of using them to extort monies and steal land at the district level for the benefit of the Party and senior Party members.

Look at the pathetic list of buffoons who have in the past and present, been appointed to manage Accra for instance? Oko Vanderpuije, Agyiri Blankson, ET Mensah, Amarteifio, etc. What did they achieve, apart from instant wealth for themselves and the further degradation of the once classic infrastructural layout of the capital city of Accra?

There are plenty of such edifices built around 17-something in that area and because Ghanains do not know maintenance, it is no wonder that our older buildings are collapsing.

Meanwhile newer house are constructed with 90% sand and 10% cement and null iron rods. Is it surprising that they collapse when a swarm of butterflies move above them ( the houses ) ?

My friend, there are more than enough building codes and regulations existing in the country at the Town and Country Planning Dept. The problem is that everybody is too busy looking for avenues and actually exploiting the system to gain by corrupt means, wealth to enable them to live big above their salaries.

Another building collapses
