NO WONDER! SINCE AYARIGA BECAME MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT, PERTROL STATIONS ARE SPRINGING UP IN EVEN RESIDENTIAL AREAS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I BELIEVE,THERE HAVE BEEN MORE PETROL STATIONS BUILT THAN IN OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THIS MAN IS FOOLING US. HE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. WAS HE NOT THE ONE WHO DEFENDED THE INCOMING DEPUTY UPPER WEST REGIONAL MINISTER FROM BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT ALLEGED CORRUPTION. THEN HE WENT TO THE SPORT MINISTRY AND DID HIS OWN. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SACKED.

The blood of the innocent will never be washed away so these feeble bullshit attempts to shift the blame will never fly. Bull shit will kill you one day Mr Finance minister, that's what happens when you surround yourself with pepeni toilet carriers all day. How many projects have you and your cronies frustrated so that you can collect bribe money in advance ? In this particular case you are talking about the Conti group who paid up but what about the rest who didnt ? We know about the high rise project which included sewage and drainage systems for much of Accra and didnt cause debt or should we mention the railway project which also have the same together with optical cables and other infrastructure . We are aware of at least 4 other projects that would have solved this problem but under this NDC corrupt govt will never see the light of day . Yes we told you we have gathered evidence of your wickedness and cruelty together with your Anti Akan agenda and plan to release these facts to the media 2 to 3 months before the elections globally so when the time comes none of you will have anywhere to hide . Yes we have all the documents and data .We shall not only remove you from there but make sure you all go to jail . Ass for JJ we shall lynch him and hang him by his balls for all to see as he has no respect for his betters and talks shit about murdered mills .this ayigbe sorry ass attempt to back track on his stupid statements , some one should tell him stupidity is not considered constructive criticisms but is simple skinpain . Mils will always be the better man because he is a Fanti and Akan deep thinker and intellectual and JJ nothing but a yes sir massa bugu buga retarded idiot bastard. Bad luck and pestilence will be on our heads until we get rid of this pepeni/ayigbe menace

As we speak now new ones are under construction in residential areas next to apartment blocks and properties with multiple occupation.
The EPA in Ghana is seriously compromised as its officials seem to have sold out.
The fire agencies also have to clear sites foe filling stations following rigorous criteria based on accessibility, health and safety of lives.

Since coming to power, NDC ministers have one crucial objective that is to build gas stations. The funny thing is, there were unable to do any deep research to find a drop of oil and when Kufuor send oil sample to the parliament floor, Asiedu Nketia burst out that it was palm kennel oil that NPP was trying to hoodwink Ghanaians with.
Now, if the real owners of the gas stations spreading all across the country can be found, we will see that most, if not all belong to NDC ministers with Okudjeto Ablakwa leading the charge. That is how funny they are.

Do you mean to tell us that Ghana government gave permission to business to operate fuel stations without permit?
seems to me some serious rule has been broken here AND it also means that anyone who has lost a person or persons from the blast at the fuel stations can sue government. But maybe that's a bit premature.
And Ayariga has the nerve to say the populous should back and support them to remove it?
Surely the objective here is that if there is any blame game, then the man can say Ghanaians backed it.

Anyway ve you returned the tractors?don't play Mr right with us, we know you too well.Most of this filling station ve adjusted their pumps and stealing people,you buy fuel and it not up to the quantity one pays for and nobody cares, we complain but standards boad pays no heed, why re we doing this to ourself?governments all over the world protect the system and the people but its as if we belong to a planet of the evil world,cement is supposed to be 50kg but you weigh it and its a different story, so how can we ever ve a rich concrate? as water to cement ratio is imbalance in most of our construction sites.A nation where every young man and womans dream is to own a building, how can the economy grow?because all the money people make re silk into the soil instead of going into manufacturing to move the nation forward,there re people in the develope world who till their old ages never thought of owning a building because its not nessary as the state ve provided affordable buildings for them,thereby making them save money for economic groth in their countries.You go out there and sample views of the public if they re given a million cedis what ll be their priority?and see the answers you get,do government think atall?how I wish I can get the president one on one for just one hour and he ll know realize that governace is not all about interlectualism, its about comon sense and ability to think to bring a paradym shift in the lifes of people.Since NDC came to power how many businessmen and women ve they made?its either they cripple exiting ones base on the persons political affiliation and such things do not help a nation.
