I can bet that the government will wait until a serious disaster occurs killing a lot of people on that platform.

Mark my words.

As it looks now , it will be very easy and cheap to repair and reinforce the structure costing us thousands and not even tens of thousands.Should we wait, the cost in lost of life and a rebuild of whole sections will cost us millions and also take away from the beauty of the structure.Where is the interior minister everyone talks about? This shouldn't have taken the press to bring this to his attention. Someone is sleeping on the job.

Of course people like you will lay the blame at the feet of the president. What you fail to recognize is Ghanaians' lack of culture of maintenance. Either this is by design or lack of money budgeted for maintenance, Ghanaians will wait until the structure begins to crumble before they act. So, Adinkra, blaming the president is not warranted.

How stupid can those in positions of trust and responsibility in Ghana be? Are they all blind to the deplorable state of what the forefathers built for Ghana or simply do not care? Are they waiting till there are innocent victims by way of death and life threatening injuries? What a country?

The culture of maintenance is completely lost in Ghana and by Ghanaians. Both institutions and individuals lack any sense of maintaining properties whether private or public owned.

I've always maintained that Ghana's successive leaders are totally useless.

SO THEY CAN'T MAINTAIN THIS TOO.

AS FOR THE ACCRA-TEMA "MOTORWAY" AND TEMA OIL REFINERY, FORGET IT!!!
