We can't even manage a hospital and keep it in good repair. What have all these overpaid, tax free, incentive rich governments and Ministers of Health been doing all these years ? These stories are just depressing to the hard working ordinary Ghanaian trying to make ends meet, and just hoping that the government of the day will just do it's JOB !

Korle-Bu building is almost 90 years, if it would have been in any country with good leaders with BRAIN, by now this building had been pull down and rebuild it new again. But for an African country like Ghana, leaders with BRAIN is no where to be found, of course, we had only one, but he is DEAD and gone, that was the man who inspired a continent of Africa. The osagyefo Dr. kwame Nkrumah.

The entirety of our once strong and powerfully solid nation, Ghana is collapsing as nothing seems to work right in the country under this unscrupulously visionless criminally corrupt regime ever experienced in Ghana.

The country is in a huge social security mess and chaos as if the nation has no concern elders or competent leaders running the affairs of country.

We have become orphans and slave beggers to foreign diggers who are collapsing our country with impunity whilst our government who is evidently in criminal ventures against the people, cares not.

Ghana is on fire!

I have said it here before and I will say it again and again that until a drastic and progressive holistic measures is put in place right now, a possible coup is inevitable and that should not be a shocker at all.

The problem is caused by bad management. It is much easier to steal the money than use it for maintenance.

NDC government, expert in lies and propaganda poor in governance. They have ruled the country more years than any party, but what have they done nothing just amassing wealth for themselves. The state money they used to influence voters could have been put to good use, but what do we get? no water sleeping in darkness and heat rashes because of heat. School kids struggling to pay for their fees and uniforms when they claim the uniforms are provided free but not true.

That is why as a nation the Govt needs to stop building houses for service men.Because these houses belongs to no one,nobody takes care of them.Look at Police housing quarters.
Government is suppose to formulate policies that will encourage banks to offer mortgages that span at least 15 or 20 years,that can be affordable by working people.
But NO,instead politicians like this idea of Govt building houses for workers,so that they can turn around and buy 50% of these houses for themselves and girlfriends not to talk about the kick-back from the loans.Let people take care of their own accommodation and they will maintain the buildings.

This is the result of one character ghanaians are yet to get rid of.Ghanaians never take good care of things which belong to the government.Everywhere you go in Ghana you see government buildings dirty and delapidated even though human beings live in them.Office workers do not care a hoot about government properties and state tenants expect the government to paint their flats for them and even give them free bulbs.What sort of life is this?When it comes to state properties there is nothing like responsibility on the part of the occupants.

""DANGER! Korle-Bu flats collapsing""

This is not the right Header, for an article like this. The flat will collasp in time, yes, but to senstionlize an appauling situation like this, is not my cup of tea.
Maintenance of Public Property is the weakest drawback in Ghana; and 'Regular Maintenance' is not in the Ghanaian Dictionary, fullstop. Everybody knows that. I wish feature writers will take it up as their duty to regulary feature individual Government Buildings like Korle Bu, to make it clear to the Ministers responsible for those properties that they should wake up.

This is the part of the story which made me think that the writer had an 'agenda';

""Korle Bu can also boast of the production of various globally acknowledged medical experts whose skill in their chosen fields has helped improve the world of medicine.

However, the facility which produced and has seen tremendous improvement at the hands of notable personalities, such as Dr. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng of the Cardiothoracic Centre, facesmany challenges including the collapsing state of residential flats for junior doctors""
Of all the internationally outstanding products of Korle Bu Hospital, only one Professor is mentioned! I was surprised.

This country called Ghana is the most stupid, idiotic nation on the planet, I wish I was not born in this silly country. Our leaders have no common sense and have all their priorities misplaced. A country of open sewage systems, filthy neighborhoods, dilapedated government and health facilities but yet our greedy bastards have the nerve to airplane themselves to foreign countries for treatment when they get sick, at the expense of taxpayers but have no common sense or decency to build or improve what we already have for the betterment of the whole country.

Where is our patriotism to build and improve our infrastructure?, Where is our patriotism to beautify our cities? Why is Accra the only place in the country that sees majority of the governments development? We have so many intellectyuals abroad but most of them are afraid to come home for fear of dying if they ever get sick. Why is that?

Do our leaders have any guts to embark on developing Ghana to any where close to the Emirates, China or even Angola? I doubt it. Maybe not in my life time.
