Wise up NDC and stop the barbaric acts !

Instead of resourcing the District assemblies to take care of the sanitation deficits in the local communities, you want to make it compulsory for every citizen not to work on the first saturday of the month and take part in this exercise ?

Are these NDC thieves sick in the brains ?

Do they actually know what Ghanaians go through to survive the hell that they have imposed on them ?

DR. BAWUMIA:-----------
“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.

He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.

“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”

“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

First of all, tell us what will happen to the enormous amount of money allocated in the budget every year for cleaning our public places ?

Of course, you guys are once again going to steal that money and expect the people to do the job free of charge. Where are your families and friends ? They should be doing the work.

Instead of a bye-law to throw people who create filth in our streets in jail, these buffoons in government want a by-law that will compel every citizen to take part in National Sanitation Day. How will these fools implement such a bye-law. In many normal countries the world over, littering is an offence punishable by on the spot fines when one is caught. In most of these normal countries, the government has provided dustbins/garbage cans at every convenient corner of the streets so that those who litter would have no excuse for littering. But Ghana is not a normal country - it is backward and crude, and that is why you have a government that wants to pass a bye-law to catch not those who litter in our street, but rather those who fail to join National Sanitation day. What a bunch of fools and dunderheads.

Cleanliness/Sanitation must start in our classrooms and supported by our laws. To paraphrase the the famous Chinese proverb, teach the hungry and they will never go hungry again. Our elementary and High School curriculum must emphasize sanitation and cleanliness at home and on our streets. That is how you raise a clean generation, not passing mindless bye-laws. With this kind of stupidity, is then a wonder that our economy is in a mess? We need people with common sense to govern, not people with hollow minds.

PEOPLE OF GHANA, IT IS TIME WE BRING SOME RESPECT TO THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT. NDC/NPP aside, let us encourage intelligent and decent people to represent us. We are talking about discussing and passing legislation, it is not something we should leave in the hands of illiterates and people who don't respect themselves. THE IMAGE OF GHANA IS MORE IMPORTANT TO SOME OF US THAN THE INTEREST OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY. ILLITERATES DON'T HAVE A PLACE IN PARLIAMENT. THEY DEGRADE IT, AND TAKE EVERY RESPECT IT HAS. I call on all who are parliamentary materials to do what GEORGE ANDAH, KOJO NKRUMAH AND EGBERT FAIBILLE JNR. are doing. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY YOU BELONG TO. WITH PEOPLE OF SUCH CALIBRE IN PARLIAMENT, GHANA STANDS A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING BACK ON HER FEET.

How can forcing citizens to dedicate a day of the month for cleaning up streets help promote hygienic behaviour?

More importantly, why do we always shy from forcing people not to dump waste all around? Look at water sachets and ice cream packs. Or, excuse me for the example, squatters who relieve in bags and dump them over a walled fence.

Lastly, can't we force Zoomlion & Co to give service where it matters, especially since thhey're paid for this work?

Apuui !Freedom and Justice. The right for every citizen to live by his wish. Sanitary can only be compulsory under government institutions , otherwise it becomes autocrate and bares a teeth to the ordinary man's freedom. We prefer the compulsory exercise of declaring ones assets before and after a political career , than blinding the masses with this whole mess of sanitation. A dust cloud country that Mahama and Co have created, needs no bye laws. It is the duty of the government to implement good policies, by training efficient workers to handle sanitation. The army is there to fully participate instead of sleeping on fat salaries and waiting for Bokom Haram . We shall refuse and resist any compulsory measure that calls for prejudices on the peoples freedom.

An exercise of mediocrity. An advise to the morons - stop wasting tax payers money on those needless meetings. Pay private companies to do the work and hold them accountable. That's it. Morons!!!

This will not happen in any civilised country, and it is a proves that Ghana is still a backward country. Ghanaians pay taxes and part of that money must do the cleaning. This is the way it is done in the modern world.

Ok so you want a by law. How about a by law that compels the government to pick up the trash after the hard working citizens clean out those stupid open sewers. These sewers would not be filled with trash if the government knew how to build a sewer and if the government could collect trash on a regular basis. Idiots all of you politicians.

Do you want to make sanitation exercises compulsory and stop collecting taxes for sanitation? For what do you use taxes you collect for sanitation? Please think twice and let us move forward.
