True oo .. go to the police barracks , the room is quite small you have to keep your fridge and deep freezer outside. Sometimes they hang their clothes on corridors.

Sometimes our politicians run out of nonsense to talk at functions! Is this not an issue he should have taken up with the police commissioners or he just wanted to be heard by the public? On top of that, does he know the age of those structures, encampments and refugee camps we call police barracks? How many of them even ministers leave govt bungalows the same, let alone better than they moved into them? Responsibility should start at the top!

THIS MINISTER IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL 1 year ago

He could have said this in a better way. Very disappointing. He is privileged to have a better and more SPACIOUS accommodation from the state. He should not look down on people like that.
SHAME ON HIM!!!!

you guys are very funny and ignorant , bust I don't blame you because you got the position from politics but not from qualification.
every government building or property must be managed by the Government but not the tenant .

how do we do it

1. The police are in the building or in the apartment as a tenant - he or she qualified to stay there because the first qualification is been a public officer.

2. every 6 months there must be control about the equipment in the facility if something is damaged it need replacement either by the Tenant or the management of the facility.
3 the 2nd point is the reason why every Government facility need to be insured by the state insurance .
A) everything in the room must be insured and paid by the Tenent
b) outside the facility like paints, window , doors grasses , gardens , and walls are all insured by the state insurance

so
if anything got damage it is either be replace by the Tenant insurance company , or the state insurance company.

The I don't think it is a free apartment.
if the tenants are to pay monthly rents either by deductions from the salaries or by 2 years deposits subject to renewal
it is very important to charge an appropriate price- and insurance is one of the most important composite factor in the determinations as to how much the cost should be.

Lastly if a tenant is been found and 4 times be given warning as to how the apartment should be kept clean and tidy , but is refusing to adhere to warnings ,
That person must be evicted from the state house

Ghanaian are too hypocrite, what the minister said is not insult, it's the truth, the habit of Ghanaian is whatever he does not use his/her money to buy, they just handle it anyhow.

Why are many people insulting the minister for saying what many see happening to barracks? They were built with our money, so they should be kept clean. In the good old days inspections were carried out in barracks for cleanliness. Barracks should be like school dormitories, and not turned into zongos. If you don't want it inspected, go rent your own house.

Charge them some amount of money monthly and use that money to employ 3-4 people who could help to keep the surroundings clean. Not only that but also the money could be used to pay for gabbage collection and any repair works on the buildings. Apart from the above there should be laws prohibiting littering and anyone who litters should be arrested and taken to court.

How dare you be that insulting to Police officers? Did you build that housing complex with your own money? Are you any better than the Police officers and their families? You're a thieving idiot.

Article 57 clause 1-3 of the constitution of Ghana state; The president, vice, Chief Justice and speaker of parliament shall have precedence over all other persons in Ghana. (That includes "mo asantehene no") MMOATIA ASE FUOR

NO BONO SHOULD VOTE FOR THE NPP. NAPO WILL TOGETHER WITH ASANTEHENE'S LAPDOG (BAWUMIAH) will destroy BONO. Why can't Kwasia TUTU II , do the same in Eastern region or elsewhere?
