Why paying Nananom to organise people for one time a week and a month instead of employing and paying Zoomlion for all this work of cleaning.

What sense does it make?
What happen with the dust after the cleaning, if there is no cars to collect and transport it to depots?

Proper thinking is not a part of NDC.
They rather do everything to steal money and invest it in their family's education and health abroad.

Under normal circumstances any minister who will send their children abroad for education or health without completing the building of quality educational and health infrastructures like highly equiped of new technos of schools and hospitals.

It is a betray to the nation if these politicians leave their homes for medication abd education abroad.

They need punishment even after they have finished serviced their government.

JD MAHAMA, this thief, incompetent, zongo thinking animal has destroyed everything he met in Ghana. Everything in Ghana is on a downward trend.
JD MAHAMA's thinking reflects his origin, a Zongo and a zongo-mentality where the few chiefs want to be worshipped by the impoverished slum-dwellers (slums orchestrated by the chiefs). It is a disgrace and an insult to see someone without vision and any moral authority like JD MAHAMA to lead a country like Ghana. Anytime I see him I feel like throwing up.
Instead of developing effective systems and controls to manage Ghana JD MAHAMA and his mediocre thinking thieves are rather destroying and pulling Ghana day in day out. What has their Sanitation Day achieved? Just look at the surroundings and environs of Korle-bu hospital and judge this for yourself? Is the NSD sustainable? Let me hold my brief!!

The broad achievements of the United Nations Millenium Development Goals are out and Africa was last in all the goals. There is growing irritation amongst concerned citizens and stakeholders on the lack of information from the President and the MPs (representatives) on how we have fared so far.

The government must provide the needed information as soon as possible.

.....continue from "GHANA,VERY DIRTY"...
I see that both the NPP and the NDC and PNDC and all previous gov'ts and the vast majority of ghna people have refused to reckon the dangers posed by criminal sanitary practices......and how long do wait to see ebola killing our children ?Gov'ts reluctant to sincerely deal with this situation because they keep resources that ought to tackle sanitation in their pockets.There are terrible sanitation issues and spots in ghana...last year , I was driving around the Nkruma circle ...and saw the big gutters being filled and littered by "chopbar"operators by the road side.While in Accra i witnessed a herd of cattle driven some Fulanis.In Prestea, and as I write this notes there are about thirty cows roaming along the streets ...some cows are just standing on the main road near Sankofa branch road....and on and on........and what about sanitation in Obuasi and Kumasi...?I conclude that ghana needs a serious,sustainable policy on this matter.....and there must be national forum on how to approach this situation.........

If Ghanaians wish to live in an environment free of cholera, Ibola and many other such diseases, hygiene would have to be part and parcel of our culture from infancy. While, the reintroduction of the NSAMAN SAMAN system is not a back idea if should be accompanied by extensive education in hygiene and civics in schools and in the communities. Punishment system alone would not work because of corruption, however prevention through education may in itself may be more effective.

THESE NDC JOKERS CAME IN 2009 AND STOPPED THE WHOLE THING, BECAUSE THEY PROMISED THEY WERE GOING TO CLEAN GHANA UP IN 100 DAYS, ONLY TO FAIL AND FALL FLAT ON THEIR FACES AND BRING THE SAME THING THEY REJECTED. WHY IS THE NDC PARTY SO NEGATIVE AND VINDICTIVE IN THEIR POLITICS??????? DO THEY LOVE THE NATION OR THEMSELVES????? OF COURSE THEY LOVE THEMSELVES, THEIR POCKETS AND BANK ACCOUNTS MUCH BETTER THAN GHANA.

A preacher went to his church office on Monday morning and discovered a dead mule in the church yard. He called the police. Since there did not appear to be any foul play, the police referred the preacher to the health department. They said since there was no health threat that he should call the sanitation department. The sanitation manager said he could not pick up the mule without authorization from the mayor. Now the preacher knew the mayor and was not to eager to call him. The mayor had a bad temper and was generally hard to deal with, but the preacher called him anyway. The mayor did not disappoint. He immediately began to rant and rave at the pastor and finally said, "Why did you call me anyway? Isn't it your job to bury the dead?" The preacher paused for a brief prayer and asked the Lord to direct his response. He was led to say, "Yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always like to notify the next of kin first.
