What bothers my mind is how the soldiers, health workers and others whom the project affect remained quiet until the project is completed or near completion before coming out.
I have not seen the project under discussion, but I want to believe that the owner(s) might have already sunk in so much money, that asking for its demolishing now would be a very difficult task to accomplish. Much so not only because of the political power behind the project, but much because the owners might have now gone through all requirements - legal etc. and have obtained valid documents from all appropriate state institutions approving the construction of the station. So now, unless brute force is applied to demolish it, all noises will be without effect, and the station will stay to pose danger to all and embarrass government one day.
LESSON: Ghanians must be a bit more inquisitive of things happening around them, be bold to pose questions
and insist on the right things to be done, if possible through demonstrations.

Why at all do Ghanaians waste their time to go to school?
Should it eventually happen that the state must pay judgement Debt for the incompetence of state officials, those officials should be held responsible and made to pay the debt. If they cant, they should then be jailed in lieu.
We pay all these taxes and some stupid fools who have lost the ability to think properly and to do their work diligently, create unfavorable conditions in which our taxes are used to pay senseless debts. It cannot continue. It is always these inept public and civilm servants who cause these judgement debts

For all that you know the station is for one of the ministers,they are above the law and they have actually made Ghana a lawless country. They will build it and use someone's name. We are yet to see how Ghana will be 10 years from now. The Head of mission should find out who owns the place and publish it. The only decent organization left in Ghana is the army forces and if they cant talk then Ghana is in deep deep trouble

I want to say something here, from the look of things our beloved country Ghana, could`ve been a beautiful state, under Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had Mate meho/NPP not started with their terrorist activities before and after the independence, that led the coup dètat to overthrown Osagyefo`s Government. This is the fact, either you take it or leave it, judging the way Osagyefo started building this country, with a lot of infrastructures, factories, schools, hospitals, Ghana Black Star Lines, Ghana Airways, roads etc, etc. At that time Ghana had everything going so rapidly more than the British imperialist rule over 100 years in Ghana. His Tema township is totally destroyed, with no water running as it was before. Armed robbers has engulfed the country, shortages of water, electricity cut off. We are in the last days of Ghana`s totally destruction.

The useless president and his wife, ibrahim mahama,okudjato ablakwa, Seikwa asiedu nketia,gvt ministers and Top military Personnels(red-caps)and Flagstaff House gorus are just operators of such numerous Fuel station at such insecure positions. Swim deep you may not put me wrong. Anyway,your officers should have come out with suggestions even before construction of this fuel station.Now selfish military officers are graping wealth along side greedy civilians. Its rather unfotunate Top military officers cannot give ORDERS now else,this could'nt be a problem in halting this operator.

This is a most embarrassing development. Petrol filling Station so close to a Heath Facility? This must not be allowed to continue. It should be stopped immediately.

It is not just about a filling station close to the face of the military men which is so annoying and suspicious of institutionalized corrupt but the more seriousness of these madness of putting up filling stations any how is, why 22 mega filling stations are built within a distance of 12 kilometers and just some few inches apart in-between Navrongo and Bulkina-Faso? why?
The Navrongo Bulkina road is eventually empty with no any population growth yet the criminally corrupt NDC led government operatives approved the construction of these whoopy 22 mega filling stations along the road to justify smuggling of Ghana's crude oil and petrol products to Bulkina Faso. The people around have no idea who the owners of these heavily built filling stations are and what they told me was they only see are big men in big cars come and inspect these filling stations and go.
My question is, who are the owners of these filling stations stretching the Navrongo Bulkina Faso road and who did approved the "illegal" constructions?
Why everyday news is a bad news in Ghana today under the vision-less non-performer "Atiguba imposed" President CNN sign poster Mahama?
The soldiers know what to do best if they are uncomfortable.
Kick Mahama and his crook criminals out before they sink Ghana beyond recovery now!!!

As Ghanaians we should learn form this bad situation. This is not the way to build a healthy society. I did not read from the article that a stakeholders meeting and or a community meeting was held before the approval was granted.
In addition no environmental assessment was done to assess the impact of location a filling station will have on the neighbours.Please try to do the right thinhg

Did the EPA give them the approval for the construction of the station? If not then the station should be closed immediately. We are sick and tired of this nonsense going on. Every body breaks the law. I wont be surprised the station belongs to the same people who are to enforce the law. The state and its institutions are failing Ghanaians.
