Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”,

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

The Government should consider the idea of using petty offenders and low risk prisoners in clearing up litter on our beaches.

Its Rev. Owusu Bempa's time to prophesy DEATH to his political ENEMIES and praise NPP to win. And radio stations like PEACE FM and OK fm will give him audience to spew this divisive, evil, demonic, satanic, unpatriotic, uncivilized and ZERO words unto the air. Hmmm! Judgment day is coming, all FALSE prophets to repent and seek SALVATION from Jesus the son of God

The city councils has become a failed institutions, and lacked their core mandates to keep our cities clean. Instead of letting the plastic companies pay them for the clean ups and intend sells it as a raw material for another company by creating chain of jobs, we are rather confused on how to manage it. Wonderful heads

This is refreshing news. However, they cant do much to help. Ban plastics outright and give some dispensation including tax rebates to them to recover. Pls Papa President this will be one of the best legacies to Ghana

If anyone can stop plastic being used to sell palm or coconut oil, fufu with soup, spices, water, gari, waakye, akplen and stew, etc. - the basics in our dear Ghana - he or she will get my vote. The government should stop the lamentations about the problem of plastics and find homegrown solutions.

Well, do you want solve one problem and create another. I hope this ban will not apply to pure and bottled water as diseases and infections would increase. With regards to the provision of waste bins, clearly that is the duty of the government. Enforcement of littering laws should be focused on by the local authorities. The government must show initiative

The best way to plastic problems is for the producer to develop a buy back incentives. This means if you bring back you old plastic bottles you will be give some percentage off on the product your are buying.
