Don't cry for your people being homeless when Dr Vanderpuije pulls down those shacks on waterways.

You all wait until there is a major disaster and then you start reacting.This time around, he should show no mercy. Just go in and wipe out every shack on those waterways.

Also, what you gonn do with all the overcrowding in Accra ?

Accra is too congested. Too congested for any meaningful activity.
the MPs shd also sit up. Otherwise we will match on them Burkina faso style.

They say we are being spiteful and have no patience or understanding for this useless pepeni / ayigbe devil God forsaken govt. See the misfortunes and disasters we face due to this tribal pepeni hopeless govt . Pestilence after pestilence will befall us until we stand up and do God's will by removing with blood this idiotic govt.People dying horrible deaths just because of corruption . They buy below standard firefighting equipment from America which cant do the job just because someone wanted to chop money , ambulances that have below standard equipment and can do the job right , sewage and drainage systems that dont exist or function due to the fact that some needed to chop money and the list is endless. When things go bad and people begin to die nobody is accountable or can be held responsible . My people arise and remove this fool govt from there quick

If you are good leaders and set example of obeying laws in Ghana, this will not have happened. You are the cause of it and God will ask each of you what good u did while you were a leader. See houses all around feeling stations in Ghana, who cares to act till people die? if there is good laws for sanitation in ghana, our gutters will not be field up. You are always in air condition cars and dont feel the smelling around. but hey you all will die one day and God will not forgive u as corrupt leader.

Leave God out for now. Already that house smells to high heaven. They do not understand the contract they have with the people. They see you all only as votes to get them where they can amass some wealth. Poverty stricken godforsaken lot. We should resolve to vote them all out (regardless of party) come Dec. 2016. We need a new lot and a new social contract.

Parliamentarians shedding what tears? This is just to fool Ghanaians that they care. When was the last time did they engage in a debate on bi-partisan line just to save Mother Ghana? They always tow their party lines and knowing that Accra is prone to floods, what measure have they put in place to make amends? Our leaders are worse than the vulture that swears to build a nest when it comes under heavy rain but lo and behold......

Are they not in Ghana while building are place all over water log areas? are they not in Ghana that all gutters are filed up with cabbages? if they will think as humans and care for the people, then is about time they work hard and make sure corrupt officials need to be arrested and prosecuted. we leave in country where our leaders lifestyle look like they dont care until people die. why why

The least we can do for Ghana is to promise ourselves and all these so-called MP's and executives that come Dec. 2016, they are out. We are voting each and everyone regardless of their party out. We tell them that now! With the new lot that will come in, we hand over mandate with a little not that they are to translate our concerns into policy that should be complied with by all and sundry with due enforcement and punishment. We would have arrived.

This band of crooks are so corrupt that they do not allow the wishes of the people to be translated into workable policy - and we die as a result!

Laws are made for reasons. So if parliament enacted a law, we expect them to work. My point is 1. Parliament made laws and the people refused to obey and they asked the law enforcement agencies to hold back.
2.Parliament approved loans and grant for a particular project and they don't monitor or follow up how the money was being used.A grant of $600 million for the desilting of the Odaw river was contracted far back in 2012 and parliament never follow up to know what was happening to the project. Now the harm had been caused and they are making noise over the grant.We are not paying you to discuss your party politics in parliament but rather to see the betterment of our country and the people. Can you guys wake up and follow up ALL the loans and grants ,making sure that they are correctly utilized? I believe at least one of you had a relative dead in this disaster.Don't blame Mahama,don't blame the government, blame yourselves for doing shoddy job in the parliament. Thank you.

To hell with your tears. Think, plan and act once and for all. Construct proper drainage sytems (sealed and undeground), prosecute government workers who gave permits to build on waterways, demolish all structures on waterways (with compensation to those who had genuine permits), and stop waiting on God to do everything for you. And you can keep your tears as the innocent lives needlesssly lost are not coming back. May their blood stain your conscience forever!

The time for government to put things in order, is now. Any further delay will not be the best, as Ghanaians will forget the pain we're currently going through, and resist any drastic measures that government will like to take to forestall recurrence of this disaster in further.

State of Backwardness, more like it. Backward leadership, backward stewardship, backward people, backward systems, backward fathers, Backward relatives. Ghana had retrogressed into primitive times even before colonization. It is as if they don't watch TV. Old Primitive Ugly people with ugly minds- that is what Ghana has become. There is no beauty or goodness in the thoughts, minds, and deeds of Ghanaians of today.

With that background, put a billion dollars on then and it looses all its value. What a shame.
