Of course this president elevates all those who fail in his government. Expect Okoe to feature prominently at Flagstaff House.

Nobody blames him for the disaster. It was a total systemic failure which spans several décades.

However, this particular response of his is carlous and out of touch with humanity. It is heartless. He should go.

I find it difficult to understand humanity. My reasons are that, those who build on waterways, were they blindfolded to? The fire desaster; are filling stations parking places for vehicles? Let us graciously call incident by its name and not to blame anybody. The gutters and the filling station are there long before the new Mayor so why is he blameable

The braggart and thief feels fulfilled with this off colour rant. He is all about accolades and titled just like the honorary doctorate he bought.

"“Nobody can blame me! My good works are there for all to see. Only recently, the whole of Africa recognized this and gave me an award. No downpour, no deluge, no Noah’s flood, I repeat, no rainwater can wash away my achievements and my glory,”

Why is this President still pussy footing all the time in his decisions or rather indecisions? If the Mayor is ineffective then why not just get rid of him and appoint someone else to do the job?? Why this re-assignment or musical chairs way of governing??? Well, Mr President, you've only got one and half years to salvage some credibility from your rather pathetic presidential term of your office!

Vanderpuije was wonderfully inept in his previous position, why would the president reassign him? The president has shown us he lacks vision and the personnel to run the economy.

If I consider the changes Stephen Adei. Roughy to GIMPA and the changes the current Vice Chansellor of Legon has brought to Legon I am convinced that all Ghana needs are good andselfless leaders and our county will change. If we put looters and butt leakers in leadership position then we destroy our country. The bible says when the righteous prospers, you see men rejoicing when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. People want this mayor out because although he may be giving the politicians some of his alledged booties, his negligence has caused us too many deaths and the blood of the dead is crying for vengeance. May heaven hear and answer.

Why reassignment and not SACKING like they do in any civilised democracy. Reassignment is a disservice to the country. Mahama has never demonstrated LEADERSHIP.

You see the mayor as a dull guy but he may be very sharp may be using his Special Assistant to get all his kickback. His hands may not be clean after all.

Okoe Vanderpuje will never resign.He and Adolf Hitler are on the same trajectory. During the second world war,Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews as a solution to the Jewish problem at the time since they controlled the economy of Europe.Busia solved the Nigerian and Lebanese problem by deportation. The problem in Accra is the seasonal flooding.Okoe's only solution is demolition and until he achieves a target of 6 million buildings, he will rather commit suicide as Hitler did than resign!

Is Cocoa Processing Company fit for purpose?
Cocoa Processing has several telephone numbers AND THEY ARE ALL GHOST NUMBERS. How do you make inquiries to such a company if you live in the USA, UK or any part of Europe when their telephone numbers are not being ANSWERED? Is the company STILL THERE and the GOVERNMENT OF GHANA paying SALARIES to these Ghosts every month if it is STILL RUNNING?
