Accra looks like a big dumpster with people living right next to disgusting open sewages. No wonder water is running scarce because its being polluted with just about anything. People need to be educated about the environment & it's impact on our lives. And these open sewage need to be covered and treated.

Mintah you have to reason. The shortage of water world wide is different but the pollution of water as at now is the problem we have to tackle. When I visited Ghana recently I did complain of the colour of our drinking water from Weija which is impossible to drink and the itching effect it has after bathing.Do you not enjoy the quality of water in your locality abrosd?Dont be foolish and contribute to how those left in Ghana can have acess to good drinking water.Why blaming Ghana alone as your philosophy, the world has problems of wars so it must be linked to Ghana too?

What brains ? After 56 years nothing is working and the little progress made is due to aid money
and foreign skills.

Nobody feels responsible for anything in Ghana,we allowe our Water bodies to be polluteted,our Forest is turning into Savana zone,all our Rivers are dying and nobody cares.
We are so corrupt that we have forgotten that,the present generation will die and go,but will leave nothing to posterity except chaos and suffering.
When will the Ghanaian start thinking on long term bases and stop been selffish.

You said right, If Kofi Wayo had made this comment, sraight away, people will start to insult him. But in Ghana nobody cares anyting, the Government we have been having are all useless, apart from Nkrumah who cares about Ghanaians and the country, all those came after him don´t care. So we will live and die like this, simple, its pity any way, but we the ordinary people can´t do anything. We will demonstrate, do everything yet they willn´t care. Ghana had many rivers on our land, but noe perhaps only few, less than 10 still runnuing good. I remember at my school days at Agona Swedru where we swim river Akora in the morning before going to school, now the river Akora has been dumped with rubbish and now dried up.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Center to all this corruption now is the ewe tribalism that has a stranglehold on the ndc and now most of the state agencies that are to combat this menace. yes corruption exists in all countries but ours has become more notorious than the nigerian , during kuffuor's time it was know he and his cronies would try and secure a 0.5 to 5% commission now ndc is known for not less than 20% going up all the way to 200 300 or even 500% . loans achieve even parliamentary approval are withdrawn as business wise it just doesnt make sense. the civil service especial ministry of finance has turned into a money grabbing arm twisting mafia that up to 3 years ago would frustrate any endeavor undertook en if one would not pay , in short the process would move at a snails pace . the last couple of years if you dont pay your files and docs would go missing or you would eventually be accused of defrauding the state or some other fabricated heinous crime and end up with the bni , police or some other agency of repression fighting for your life. in short would take by force from you what you did not willingly give.Some now advocate for JJ methods of dealing with this system of doom, but rawlings style of governance can never come back as the revolution propaganda and media hype was nothing but a sophisticated cover and camouflage of the ewe persecution of the Akans mainly the ashantis as by the end of the Acheampong era most govt institutions and factories were being managed by Ashantis, today most are in the hands of northerners , Gas and ewes so to clean up the babies and fruits of the revolution with another is impossible , the only solution is now a civil war . now tribalistically speaking without being accused again of chauvinism or Akan nationalism we have a situation whereby this alliance of the ewes , part of the gas and northerners , that is less than 15 % of the population by varios means of election engineering , rigging divide and rule now are looting as quickly as they can all the wealth of the nation as they know this can not last forever . unfortunately when they are done we shall be left with a war and no future for our children due to our own laziness to see the truth for what it really is . here is a govt so busy with their cover up for the SADA that not a single minister or leader to come out this Easter with a message of hope as their hearts are filled with so much evil and hate . yes this govt will leave one day for sure despised and hated by the people , never to come back again.

I thought we did already! Or does it mean in 12 years there won't be any at all? We may start importing clean water from China.

Who are those experts and where have they been the last twenty something years? What kind of water have they been drinking for them not to have noticed the tadpoles and human faeces
along with the typhoid causing whatever that have been in our taps since long? Ghana's water is woefully
unclean as at now and has been like that for a long, long time. It is high time those guys who sit in parliament, calling themselves MPs and all those so-called engineers begin to use the nations money and their trained brains respectively to solve this serious problem.

77 sites allocated for small scale mineres. Hon. Fuseini and his cohort,Bravo and more grease to your elbows! The only way to truely serve Ghanath is this kind of service if only it is not another rethoric and propaganda. I am surprised Ghanaians are not comending the minister and the government for this great move. The government must demonstrate to Ghanaians that they really mean business in areas such as our envirionment,water, power, economy etc... Well meaning and patriotic Ghanaians are silently praying for such a good move and hopefully many other moves in the right direction. Government is judged by their good policies and performanance, so keep going and God bless.
