According to the news, the sensible municipal boss was the one who gave the tax payers money to the private landlords to build toilets in their houses. Now what? To charge higher rent advance from the same tax payers and keep the money for themselves. Sometimes I ask myself, "Are these Ghanaian leaders human beings?"

Most of them are illiterates who only look for contracts for their 'consultants' to work on. This is what finally extends to parliament where the majority of work done is contracting loans. What a rotten country?

..funding agencies appointed their own consultants... therefore had no choice but to pay the consultants and in foreign currencies..

Are our political piggy-heads so stupid? Here is a situation in which our economic agenda (granting that it exists!) is predicated upon the largesse of foreign donors. But the irony here is that, these external grants are conditioned upon the use of foreign consultants who, in most cases, use up about 60% of the grants in consultancy fees.

And our politicians are most willing to do this because they get some pecks out of the paymens as kick backs.

In other words, our leaders rush in for foreign loans not because of the grant's impact on Ghana's development, BUT on the impact of private pockets of the politicians.

Is Ghana so stupid not to realize that foreign grants are nothing but robbing Peter to pay Paul.

This is DISGUSTING!!!

Government, he said, therefore had no choice but to pay the consultants and in foreign currencies. IS THIS THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM MAHAMA? GOVERNMENT APPOINTEES MISUSING PUBLIC FUND AND YOU TELL GHANAIANS THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO CHOICE? IS DISCIPLINE NOT A WORD IN YOUR LANGUAGE? No wonder people call your government clueless and corrupt.

Consultancy? It's just a freak n scheme to steal state money. Clean garbage, built toilets or urinals and you spend the money on consultancy? They could have easily brought in research students from Urban Planning to do that and have plenty of money left to implement projects recommended.
But no! They devised a way to share the money amongst themselves. What a shame!

The assemblies must really answer for these...Great they singled out TMA...AMA should've known better and done good what TMA did. Why? They promised these years ago and never sunk a dime into sanitation facility buildings...Rather, they chased landlords to build these in no time...What prevented them from pre-financing these projects and took refunds later in the years. As we speak, more households have not been able to do this and immediately this passes, they would repeat same to the detriment of the communities...MORE FIRE!!!

Shouldn't there be a law for every home to have toilets and bathrooms? Why give them money to build one? Do we have anyone who thinks in this country.
