So Dagombas, Nanumbas and Mumprusi were living at Daboya modern day Savana region, and had fight with Gonjas who want to Kill them finish. They were running helter scattered when Konkombas came to their rescue and give them lands to settle. They even repel the Gonjas and Push them far away to Damango. When the British took over German lands after WWII these very people were allowed to be use as indirect rulers. After Independence nothing change and Achempoang government came and create paramount chiefdoms and even put Northern lands under stools/Skins occupied by these chiefs. Seeing the juicy and delicious systems, they fabricated history to look different and tell fallacious stories about who they are. I am shy and so ashame to learnt this. The nauseating about it is the propaganda they use. Posterity will judge them for such ungrateful act.

It means when her husband was in charge of the country she was using state resources to run the clinic and all the proceeds was seen as her profit - what other way to explain this scenario, she only died a days ago

What evidence do you have that it was operated as a private clinic and the proceeds went into her pocket, be fully sure of what you are saying, l understood it was tax money and under Health Ministry, investigation should be set up to find the root course and renew it to its glory because it's a good thing there in the market.

But @James, how could it have been left to rot if it was under the mistriry of Health, and if it was a private health centre managed with her own resources, why did she leave it to rot? The only reasonable possible explanation is that it is/was her private clinic but resources used to run it was not from her own pocket

@P Djamgbe exactly my thoughts. Nana Konadu was using state resources to manage the Clinic and once she no longer had free access to state funds things started to fall apart. Sad truth.

The maintenance culture of asset and property management in Ghana is abysmal. They spend money to build, yet nothing is done to ensure it’s continued and proper functioning into the foreseeable future. A demonic habit of running things down, with I don’t care attitude. You build a house, siblings occupy it and run it down. Zenator is a trained physician yet, she has not proven her sort a a physician, concerning even the health of her own parents. All the physicians are now politicians. Okoe Boye, Zenator Rawlings and the new Asante Region regional minister. Who should do the job they were trained with taxpayers money to do. It is all greed and pursuit of fame and quick money. Why wouldn’t our health facilities run down?

We cannot help it, as Africans, or perhaps because of poverty we do not have time to keep things neat or in good operation. I do partially place blame, however, on 2 Ghanaian character traits of greed and the lack of foresight brought on by ignorance.

Structures and institutions fail because of catastrophic failures of management to budget and implement preventive (PM) maintenance schedules; everything is about how much money is available in a proposed budget that can be stolen, misused or mismanaged.

The minimization of the importance of PM cut across all sectors of society, rich or poor. People buy cars, homes and recreational play toys such as boats with the majority lacking adherence to manufacturer recommended PM schedules. The absolute majority of Ghanaians who own vehicles and expensive homes at times of purchase have either ignored PM schedules or simply did not allocate budgets for maintenance.

It is not suprising that the late Konadu clinic is in disrepair; look at what we did with all Kwame Nkrumah era factories and buildings. While Nkrumah's CPP government had what then called Public Works Dept (PWD) that kept major roads, structures at ministries, government properties and state owned housing environments cleaneds and "sanitized" with routine garbage pick ups, Ghana after 1970 fell back into its indisciplined mode of community existence.

We replaced or sacrificed sound enviromental cleanliness that help with extending life expectancy with the Busia-Danquah and NPP ideals driven by greed sold to the masses as "property seeking" democracy. Today we expend government monies to build or buy (a process where people in power get to steal money through skimming) but no enforceable maintenance scheme.

This issue should be investigated further. Was the facility under the care of her 31 December womens movement or the Ghana health service? In all these what prevents her children from pulling resources together to renovate the place in honour of their mother? They can plan and commission the facility @ their mother's 1 year anniversary of her passing . But generally speaking the culture of maintenance of public property in Ghana is nothing to write home about. From vehicles, buildings. I know basic schools that were commissioned in the Busia regime (1969-1972) Not for once have the schools seen paint since then not to talk of renovation.

Foolish talk. Nowhere in the world do people enjoy paying taxes. It's an obligation to do so. If there are weak systems in collecting them, who should go knocking to pay them?

It’s very sad o, everything in Ghana has been polarised by the lunatics . I remember this woman worked so hard to empower Ghanaian women in her vibrant life, I remember 31st December Day care, nursery’s , kindergarten all over Ghana. Where are they now? Who benefits the lost, we are fools and lack of wisdom, knowledge and vision. Politicians and their so called traditional leaders has destroyed Ghana beyond measure.

Hmmm here we go again.Who are the people primarily benefiting from the clinic. This was a project envisioned to bring health care to the doorstep of the market women without them straying away from their businesses when the need arises right? I believe this clinic has saved so many many lives over the years.Are the beneficiaries expecting the visionaries to keep it running in the name of goodwill?
It's just somebody outside the country,builds a house put in a caretaker,at the end of the day,the caretaker is expecting the owner of the house to come down and sweep the house.You know what I am talking about.
Nana poured her heart and soul for mother Ghana more especially women.Yet almost everything she helped in championing is nothing to write home about.
Honestly even if Mary the mother of Jesus Christ comes to Ghana to establish an entity for common good for people, she wouldn't be faraway when the I don't care syndromes will start kicking in. Thanks to the selfish, greedy and the pull him down (PHD) mentality of the nation wreckers.Unless we intentionally pay the price by changing our ways of life and how we think, Ghana shall always be like the evil play ground.
