    Ghana Standard Authority is not doing the job. The iron rods are not quality and totally useless

    There are some things that are done in this country that need to be outlawed. You buy 12mm iron rods from the dealers and when you measure it, it's 10mm and yet they call it 12mm. You buy 10mm and it's 8mm etc.
    If you don't ...

    What is the purpose of toiling and suffering to acquire assets, properties or buildings and dying too early for others to enjoy such properties? To me, it does not really make any sense at all and if I was a law-maker, many t ...

    Clearly you are an NPP animal. You guys can't distinguish between seasons. This building is obviously more than 2 years old so if any government is to be blamed for voodoo works it should be NPP.

    We need inspection services in Ghana. We need to inspect to make sure that the right materials are used.
    We are not serious in Ghana.
    We need to also qualify people who build. We are mostly using brick layers in Ghana.
