As much as I want to see our streets clean and free, we need to understand that these people have families to feed, so those doing legal businesses but are at the wrong places must be provided with places where they can continue with the legal businesses. I have sympathy for both the government and the street vendors.

Mr. Minister, your party the NDC would fight you if you touch their prostitutes oo. Government appointees are the biggest patronizers of them. From presidency to party communicators.

Even prostitutes was referenced many times in the bible and other books in the days of old, an age old long tradition. Even a girlfriend is a prostitute, my reason is, you give her money and her not marrying her at the end, she moves to the next guy, so the circle continues until she finds one who will give her his name and keep her to build a home but before then nko? Some go to a brothel pays a lady and fucks her no difference, it's been long

Some Ghanaians have forgotten in 1983 there was a hardship in Ghana due to Jerry John Rawlings and his military took over power in Ghana, many Ghanaians went to Nigeria to find a Job and the Nigerian government at that time asked Ghanaians to leave their country.Ghana must go you remember, that’s what is happening today what goes around comes around. But Ghanaian men are saying the Nigerians ladies are sweeter than the Ghanaian ladies in bed. So they should send their men back and leave the ladies to service the Ghanaian men small.

How did these foreign beggars and prostitutes enter Ghana? We need to ensure that foreigners entering Ghana have enough money on them and also where they are going to stay and the reasons of their coming to Ghana. We have to be strict and immediately refuse them entry. One wonders how these Children from Foreign countries begging along our streets entered Ghana. These Children are not at school but begging openly by the roadsides obstructing traffic movement. Is there any future for these children begging at roadsides ? No!!!! They will grow to hate society ,turn to petty criminal activities , armed robberies , prostitution and all sorts of unsavoury activities. Arrest and deport them. The criminals behind these operations should be punished. Arrest them ,have them tried ,convicted , long stretches of custodial sentences slapped on them including deportation after serving of sentences.

If you care to know Mr minister, in the days of Jesus Christ , prostitution was there.
Do you even know the economic and social benefits of prostitution? There is no country and no city in this world that you will not see prostitutes even Vatican prostitutes are there.

We need security in the country. To get rid of all beggars and prostitutes from our street isn’t a solution to our security. Where do you expect these people to go and make their livings? Are you going to feed them daily? Prostitution and begging are part and parcel of our social life. There are many other major problems that Ghanaians are facing daily, for example robbery. Ghana needs more security servicemen and women, soldiers, policemen. The country has the money to care of this, but the money is with the politicians, that is the problem, not beggars and prostitutes.
