Even Salifu Amankwaa and Jack has come and gone nothing changed.
If NDC retain Ashie Moore and Alottey the whole Accra will be given back to NPP.

What he did was very right. Even today, around Methodist bookshop, the mate of my Trotro went ahead to bribe a policeman paving way for them to stop at a wrong place to load. This police officer after taking the money pretended not to have seen our bus. All they do there is bribe, bribe and bribe. The mayor has the responsibility to see to the smooth flow of traffic

The Mayor is UNCOUTH. What do you expect from this MALE RAT. His brain is full of frog eggs. You don't talk to a Police man on uniform like that in public regardless of the situation. You could have taken his particulars and report him to the appropriate authorities. Is the Police under you. Unnecessary show off with his stupid unkempt self .He needs grooming and wise counsel . Go shave your silly beard. Nonsense

Why apologize
The police do zero enforcement. Driving, parking, vandalism, maintaining order. Let's tell them in the face. Forget this nonsense who doesn't know they collect bribes in order to look away.

The Accra mayor must work on his stomach and stop bullying the police who are doing their work. What does he mean asking the police “who are you” What is a mayor? It is just a political appointment. It does not imply any special qualifications. Politicians should stop asking people” who are they” That is arrogance. I dare any one to ask me that question.

Ghanaians, when NDC embarked to clear the street, who heard any NPP supporter criticizing the idea? If NPP was in power and did come up with such exercise, NDC will vent their anger and make the exercise unpopular so, who is destroying Ghana other than NDC?

Yes, Ghana is for all Ghanaians and anything that will make the country good, should be embraced for us to move forward. NDC, next time, next time.

We should remember when NPP tried to clear the street, NDC mounted severe opposition telling the people that NPP is destroying their livelihood so what about now, are people's life not touched?

Dear Mr Mayor
You don’t have to apologise. We are a bunch of corrupt and senseless human beings. You did the right thing. A country without law enforcement is no country at all. Such a country can never move forward. All your exercise would be cosmetic if there is no enforcement. The POLICE are the bane of the country,riddled with corruption. That is why most of them don’t end well. Their corruption acts invite unimaginable CURSES upon them. They never have peace if you care to find out. Any serious government should deal with the police. All senior officers who do not ensure enforcement of the law should be sacked. If they cannot enforce the law, then they become useless and not fit for purpose. The mayor is acting for our collective benefit. The former Accra Regional Minister was opposed from every angle and could not achieve much. Let’s stop this partisan nonsense and reset our country.

Fellow Ghanaians,if a police officer wants to take bribe it will not be GHC 1,2,5 or even 10,those takings from drivers are extortion because the drivers may not have committed any offence,the current president and his team,the same people in charge now,signed a take or pay power purchase agreement with a Qatari company which specifies that power will be produced and whether Ghana buys it or not Ghana is to pay for it amounting to $600 million a year( $50 million per month),which mentally sound human being with love for country will sign this agreement without personal interest( I.e.kick back),this is bribe and so long as Ghana continue to pay,the local collaborators who are back in government will continue to receive their share.Nana Addo who knows law was in power for 8 long years and did nothing about it so we’re finished.That is part of the cost they are passing on to us as D-levy blaming ECG’s inefficiencies.Take this gargantuan fraud out and there will be no need for D-Levy.Those who voted them back to power are well done.
