Mahama used Ghana resources to build the airport for Akufo Addo and his NPP criminals to claim credit for themselves, a job that their party never dreamt about. The same party destroyed everything that Dr. Nkrumah left behind by an Akan man called Kofi Abrefa Busia. This man Kofi Abrefa Busia, the mati meho bloc did this to Ghanaians out of envy and jealousy of his predecessor Dr. Nkrumah.

NPP said they have decentralized independence day celebration that why they have neglected Ekumfi sorry the heart of the nation the independence square. Mind you they also abolished the celebration of the republic day. No wonder they have been embarrassed with the poor performance in government. Now all of them are running away from their own government claiming they are just mates. When they were mate the nation collapsed now that they have left the old man the mother serpent of corruption alone what will happen. I pity Nana Akuffo Addo for the great betrayal. They are arrogantly doing it. Can the poodle and stooge of Akyem Mafia be president. The guy is not a leader. He never speaks against evils in his car and society. He is mumu

The only maintenance culture our politicians and government appointees know is the culture of maintaining a huge wallet and bank balance. The next government should be like governments that have taken over and investigated all previous appointees including the president. The clause of immunity for president from prosecution even if he killed should be scrapped via Parliament the very day the next president takes over.

Assuming 6th match parade is still held there, like by now renovations are going on for next month, once the program moved to the regions (which is good) the premium center has been forgotten totally.

Ghana is the only country in the world where national monuments are abandoned at will.The ruling class sits in the comfort of Flagstaff House.Each time l go around the Freedom and Justice monument circle l see wanton neglect.The sea is just close to the monument so any rehabilitation must take that into consideration.Iron rods should not be used.Only cement should be used or non salt corrosive materials.Just close by when moving from the Stadium traffic light towards Accra is a rubbish dump.All these is an eyesore.The walls between the State House frontage and the Accra International Conference Centre is unkempt.No painting.Grass not pruned.Okada's and hawking is found at that National Security zone.

The pyramids have stood for more than 4000 years. The great wall of China for thousands of years with very little maintenance.
They could have built all those fences corroding and rusting with compressed earth. But instead they made up cheap concrete and weak iron rods and it is crumbling. Wasted money. The esrth could have been used at no cost (but then there would be less money to steal). As far as keeping the place looking beautiful that could have been hundreds of jobs.

Ghana can't maintain anything, that's why it's beyond stupidity for citizens to continuously buy into politicians' bullshit promises of interchanges and other such infrastructure as vote worthy proposals/manifesto.

What’s the point of praising governments over road interchange projects and infrastructural promises, when government after government hasn’t cared about keeping existing infrastructure maintained and in good shape? Yet, people get paid for those neglected duties. Duties that are so crucial to any well functioning economy.

Shame on our leaders and their ministers! The best they’re known for is their obsession with imported luxury vehicles, just to show off their social statuses and their handsome selves on filthy roads. Roads full of potholes, dust and other death trappings. Maximum stupidity!
