If that is all you can say it shows how uninformed you are. You are in the class with all the other dummies that believe such a liar. Jealous of a fool? I am more informed of how these so called leaders are raping Ghana. Even Ghanaweb is censoring some of the comments here....because even someone there is under this fake mayor's butt. So not one speck of jealousy here. I am speaking about injustice for Ghana and you again are an idiot to think of jealousy as a reason for this comment. ACCRA smells of sewage everywhere a little masked by charcoal......you are so use to being kick in the butt you can't smell or think.

They are just plain jealous.Mr Vanderpuije didn't create this laudable prize to award it to himself.I am sure that some criteria would have been instituted by the organizing committee that selects the winning major.Mr Vanderpuije is certainly one of the most proactive public officials in the nation,we cant deny that! The problems in Accra took more than 50 years to build up to the current state and we cant expect them wiped off with a stroke of a pen. The whole nation is migrating to 2 main cities Accra and Kumasi, but infrastructure is not keeping with the population growth. Only fools wont see this!

"The lizard that jumped from the high iroko tree to the ground said he would praise himself if no one else did" - Achebe.

Mr. Vanderpuije, the people of Accra are the only ones who can determine whether you deserve this award. So far they say you don't. Why don't you go back to the drawing board and ask yourself why they don't think you are deserving of the award, and try to do some work while you are at it, instead of telling us why you deserve the award. There is another word for that, it's "entitlement".

Even the award itself is sponsored and named after a man who is probably one of the most corrupt politicians in African history - the President of Angola. His name is Dos Santos and he simultaneously presides over vast oil revenues and horrific poverty. Not quite surprisingly, his daughter is one of the richest people in the whole of Africa.

Anyway, so it falls in line for Oko Vanderpuiye to win this award. Honesty and fairness is not a virtue of the sponsor of the award.

As for Oko Vanderpuiye, lets just ignore him for he has no scruples and no sense of shame. He is just simply the typical NDC prototype.

What a crock of shit. It shows how self centered this bastard is. You deserve a kick in the ass. The only ones who think you deserve any awards or praise is the ones that are your ignorant partners in corruption. Hell, you can't even direct traffic or control your trigger happy bullies that ride with you. You deserve an award alright! We Ghana people give you the " The BIGGEST ASSHOLE OF THE DECADE" award. You are either the dumbest human on earth or the biggest liar of Ghana. Any fool world wide can see you have done nothing to improve this country. You have made it look like only idiots live here. You and all the others that pat your stupid backs with self praise. Give that $200,000 to the poor you continue to steal from. What a bucket of shit!

No you do not. I am 58 years of age a Ga and traveled a bit to other cities and compellingly have never seen Accra as lawless chaotic, environmentally filthy stinky with choked gutters and uncontrolled traffic jams in all my life the way it is under your management.

How could a Mayor of city voted as the third most filthiest the world over merit such an award? That is an insult to Africans.

Any institution that awarded you with such award must be probed as to how you merit such an award or probably in a way insulting the dignity of Ghanaians and for that matter Africans.

You simply do not merit that award at any rate at all. What a shame.

THE TRUTH IS THAT ONE IS BORN EVERYDAY AND WE ARE IN GHANA ARE UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE THIS IDIOT TALKING NONSENSE EVERYDAY. IS THIS NOT THE MAN WHO WAS CONVICTED IN AMERICA AND PARDONED FOR MISAPPROPRIATING AND STEALING MONEY WHEN HE WAS A MERE HEADMASTER OF A SECONDARY SCHOOL. THIS ROGUE THINKS THAT WE ARE ASLEEP. GO ON COLLECTING USELESS AWARDS BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES WE WILL ASK YOU SERIOUS QUESTIONS. IN ANY SANE AND CIVILISED SOCIETY YOU WILL NEVER BE GIVEN ANY PUBLIC APPOINTMENT. ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF A BREACH OF TRUST CANNOT HOLD A PUBLIC APPOINTMENT BUT WHAT DO WE SEE IN GHANA? SHAME ON THE RULING NDC GPOVERNMENT.

This is the third time I have seen the word "jealous". And he is a doctor, A Doctor of Trickery. He's also a Doctor of Traffic control of tro-tro drivers. He is a doctor of something but he needs to go back to school. Please sack the one who signed his degree. Oh yes back to jealous. No one is stupid enough to be jealous of a selfish greedy person unless the jealous are corrupt themselves. All of these comments are dissatisfied citizens wanting a better life through honor and moral character. They are complaining about someone that sees and knows the ship is sinking but the captain is lying and saying it's smooth sailing with the only life vest under his shirt. People buy fake documents all the time. A label known in Ghana. You don't know that?

Improvements such as Accra Mall, roads, were all before your time. You haven't done a thing. Focus on just sanitation and probably planting of trees.
