If the government has now realized the need to demolish the hell of a place called 'sodom and Gomorrah 'the better for its development mental agenda and its political success.

The government has to be commended for this noble cause. The whole place should be razed down and beautify as a park for relaxation.

Cities in Ghana lack parks for tired citizens to go and relax watching the day go by.

Remmeber J.J. Rawlings was in power for 20years. If JJ had been tribalistic and sectionalistic like Mahama, he would have spent the whole of Ghana's money to make Volta Region heaven on earth and there wouldn't be any electricity in the north? If Mahama has used 2years to pump hard-earned Ghana money to lavishly transform Gonjaland then JJ Rawlings wasted 20years by not doing anything to transform Eweland. Three and a half years of Atta Mills presidensy will also be termed as a waste for Fantis and Ekumfi Etuam people since the good old Prof could not do for Fantis, and Etuam people, a tenth of what Mahama has done for Gonjas in two years.

I ve always crisis the president for his inability to take actions on issues that borders and affect our very existence as a people,the sodom and gomorah demolition is in the right direction.It shouldn't end there all those who re ready to go back to the north,buses must be made available for them,just go there and you ll realize that,it's an insult to allow those living there all in the name of business can not continue,many of the girls get rape and when they abort this babies throw them into the odor river.This is unacceptable sin,why should we make laws only to break them in the name of survival for others?authorities after the demolition must arrest girls and boys of school going ages and send them back to where they come from including those at washing bays and street hulkers.this also the time to look at the GYEEDA concept and other measures put in place to address this problems,let those who presides over such programs see the reality on the ground,give them some orientation and make then know they can't fail the government.

If they have a stake and vote, why don't they stand up to the politicians and demand their rights.

No government can provide housing for everybody, since after all government collects taxes from the people. However, cleaning the place and providing safe living environments is the duty of government.

These useless politicians would wait till death before they gather courage to do the right thing?
They are lucky Ghanaian Lawyers are afraid of government and don't know how to do Class Action Law suits! Government officials would be in court and possibly civil suits that would cost them lots of personal money for their negligence of duty! Knowing the right thing to do and not doing is is negligence and if it costs harm to others it can become criminal.

Frankly speaking this place called sodom n gomora is actualy not good for human habitation, it breeds a lot of immoral persons, therefore the place should be destroy with immediate effect to avoid future criminals.

People need to wake up. Tackling poverty requires a radical shift in Ghanas politics and economic system. Unless we unite and destroy the hoarders of wealth and power, you will continue to see Sodoms and Gomorrahs popping up all over the place. How is it that a small country like Cuba is able to provide basic necessities like education and healthcare to its citizens but Ghana fails to do so. Stop cutting off the branches of the tree and get to the root of Ghanas problems. These poor people are victims of a greater capitalist system.
