Amidu Sulemana, the Roads Minister said the revenue from the tolls was not enough to "maintain" the Tema motorway and it required money, we are talking about serious money, he said. If the amount from the tolls cannot be used to maintain the highway, then, the verdict is sealed, in that, there's absolutely nothing the NDC gov't can ever do on this planet. They are completely unfit for purpose, and should be jettisoned.

The beneft of Education in Ghan or among Ghanaians is to come and steal from the country. As a result, most of them go to school just to be future corrupt officials. At the end of the day, how does it help? Ghanaians are too wicked that, they do not and can not think positively to benefit their country. Taking from presidency to a school child, everybidy want to steal. What type of human beings are we at all?

If the figures provided in this piece are accurate, then the Minister for Roads and Highway should be ashamed for saying on Citi FM that the money from the tool is not sufficient to maintain the Motor Way. Where is all the money collected gone to?

Most of the money ends up in the private pockets of the workers and officials. That is what is happening all over Ghana including the ports. That is why the government has no money to pay public workers, buy fuel to produce energy, pay NHIS, schools, etc and yet President Mahama keeps going round the country making promises. The solution should be the introduction of electronic payment of the tool.

All toll booths have been contracted to a company owned by the brother of the former Road and Transport Minister (Gidisu). The contract stipulates 40% of the collection goes to this company and 60% goes to the road fund. Why cant this toll collection run by Ghana Revenue Authority so that all surplus go to the government. The % that goes to Gidisu brother, a % of that goes to the NDC party coffers. That is the truth so how do you expect repairs to be done on this motor way

Amazing, and yet not a surprise. A minister come before parliament, the highest national decision making body, to seek approval for loans to rehabilitate an asset that is a 'cash cow'.Uh? The minister has no idea of the cash flows for the asset. He never bothered to know before coming to parliament. He gets paid every month without delay, and yet DOES NOTHING for the nation. Lets see what Mahama will do about this.

Just less than a week ago, the sector minister was on record as saying with an authority that the money they need is so huge that the toll they collect daily is cedi,cedi and therefore we shouldn't even think of it as money.
So, if grown and educated men could not understand the wisdom behind "small drop of water makes an ocean", then we're doomed.
Another problem from these fools is, we allowed those who couldn't make a cedi's profit and reinvest it in their private lives to get access to big money as ministers and developed a habit of stealing these monies with impunity so a daily toll that amounts to millions in a year is still no money to them simply because as the toll comes in so it disappears in to private pockets and the rest ends up as pay roll to the same ungrateful minister.So here they share it and could not see its accumulation effect in years down the road.

This is what exactly I asked the Minister of Roads to come out with and tell the whole world how much is generated from the tolls collected daily, weekly and mobnthly. Now that we have the figures what is the Minister saying about the huge money paid to the government from motorists using the motorway?? The Ministry should now come clean to tell us what arrangements are being put in place to give the motoray a complete rehabilation to make it safe and avoid accidents on it especially in the night. The Minister should stop the mud throwing tactics and get seriously to work.

Nkwaseafo bi nti in Ghana who are leading the nation is now turning the country into ashes. Mahama kwasea bi nti who wanted to be the president of Ghana AT ALL COST has now destroyed EVERYTHING in Ghana yet Ghanaians cannot say anything to him simply because he was elected president as Atuguba the opepeni judge said to Ghanaians. Mahama is a failure because he had taken someone's crown. Shame unto him.

It appears most critics of the gov't suffer from amnesia. Rawlings ruled Ghana for almost 20 damn years and most of these infrastructure deteriorated under his watch. This is the same Rawlings who wants the gov't to furnish his new house before he moved in. Sadly, he collapsed industries, banks, buildings, schools, roads, etc., built during the CPP era, while Ghanaians cheered him on as "Junior Jesus". Let's not blame Mahama who has just been President for only a year. Unfortunately, it will take years for any gov't to clean up the mess created by Rawlings. Kuffour, who did his best cleaning up some of the mess, achieved far more for Ghana in 8 years than Rawlings did in his 20 year rule. The crazy thing is that this guy has the nerve to blame Kuffour, Mills, and everyone but himself. We Ghanaians should also blame ourselves for allowing this monster to rule for 20 yrs. In fact his own revolutionary men, Tsikatas, Ahois, Awunoors, etc ran away from him in the end when they finally realized they were dealing with a psycho.

I would first thank the writers for this good article. The attempt to set the historical background is highly commendable. However I lived in Tema until I completed university and I know for certain Rawlings rehabilitated the Motorway during his time in office. I can still picture him sitting in his patrol and driving the whole length of the Motorway lamenting it's deplorable state, including the surrounding woodlot which provided a measure of protection. He subsequently rehabilitated it. I left Ghana before Kufour's administration began so I don't know what has happened since.

If we can't on the other hand, we should pay competent Germans or the British to do it for us. This shows we aren't capable humans after all - as at now it is very evident. It will take food out of the mouths of greedy Ghanaians but we will have our tax moneys intact.

I always tell people that Rawlings is the worst criminal Ghana has ever had but some people think that I just don't like him. Rawlings had more time than any leader Ghana ever had yet he was busy mismanaging the country and torturing or killing people who criticised him.

I think Ghanaians have themselves to blame for even allowing this crook called Rawlings to be walking freely and formenting trouble.

A purposeful educational system and the right economic policies would bridge the gap between the rich and the lower classes of society.

Kwame Nkrumah said that he believed that the only way to fight corruption was to build a strong public opinion against it. let us not forget it.

However I believe that every government institution must have an auditor. The auditors must be well paid. Any auditor who fails to detect any malfeasance within 2 years must be sacked.

We are all concerned with the state of our national properties and their maintenances. I wish you could come with some good working ideas that could help put our nation forward.

The Tema motorway has become a great concerned for all Ghana loving people, so I think you are one of the partiotic and rational people that could present a nice idea to help the nation in relation to road and its maintenance. The slogan that you presented 'Mahama the most stupid' says nothing since you failed to explain what makes him that in relation to the road.

The problem with our roads and their maintenances lies on the minds of the Ghanaians who work at the toll collection. The workers and some of the stake holders produce their own tickets and sold them to the motorists at the toll booths. This never help our nation.

Earlier my understanding was you could also make a revealing secret and the antidot to help bring solution to the numerous problems our nation faces due to our own unpatriotic characters of retrogression and destroy the nation mindedness-''ostrich and village mentalities''. Please, next time just do your very best to bring out an idea that can help solve som of our multicomplex problems than the using of abusive words.
