If idiots like Akandoh are in Ghana's parliament then I am not surprised Ghana was moving in the reverse direction at neck-breaking speed under thief Mahama. What are you going to tell the court, that you gleefully approved Oti Bless and Okujato Ablakwa as deputy ministers who had never done their National Service but when it came to the turn of Otiko you are now crying foul because you are in opposition. Is this not discrimination? Is it because she is a woman and Oti Bless and Ablakwa are Men. I don't have any university Cert but I think I know better than Akandoh.

The mayor was enforcing city ordinance for the sake of the city's residents. So what is this fool, Kotei, talking about ?

I can't believe a professional is making such a baseless argument. Just imagine if this guy is in charge of planning at any local council

the mayor did the right thing period. too much slums in the capital,the streets were too dirty!!!
the government needs to decentralize so all those people can sit back home and make a good life for themselves

Exactly. He was just the right man for the job. Some ghanaians are soo backward minded that they dnt wnt good for this ctry. Anyway, Oko is good that's why he won the seat at his constituency.

TAMALE NORTH ON FIRE
Some members of the council of elders AA Bawa, Gundanaa and some constituency executives Abdul Nasri(youth Organizer) are the key elements behind all the problems in Tamale North and Sanarigu District. Because all this elements are the once pushing the PC Hajia Kulsumi for the DCE's post so they can manipulate her(PC) in taking decision that would only go in fever of them but not to the benefit of the entire Sanarigu District. They did that during the election and they are planning to do same if given the DCE's position. We the silent majority call on the leadership of NPP to be extra careful in deciding who the DCE of the Sanarigu District should be.

I don't see why Vanderpuije's effort to keep the country clean agenda should be politicized and branded as brutality. Let face the fact Accra is engulf with rubbish, ah City paa nie. I will prefer his successor would continue to follow some of his good works to help clean the city for us. Let all call a spade a spade and stop politicizing good things done
that will help the Nation Ghana.

Vanderpuuije, did what a fight thinking Mayor has to do. People can play politics with it, but he did a good job. The hawkers don't belong on the streets period.

Is Kotei talking sense or talking hatred? Vanderpuiye in reality ought to considered the only sine quo non tool for the capital of Accra's development, so Kotei should stop his political and personal hatred talks which is not needed now.

The people of Accra accept the change of government so we are just looking forward to see what the sitting government can do better to better the situation. Most rational people in Accra appreciated the efforts Vanderpuiye put in with the exception of the political and tribal bigots who were driven by their personal hatred.

We believe if somebody else will go forward with something better than what Vanderpuiye did it will be well for all of us in the capital. We wish the people who are to take over from Vanderpuiye the best ideas of good management and the boldness of Vanderpuiye to do the work bcos black people--Ghanaians in particular are very difficult people who need a toiugh person to rule them.

Kotei should remember that it is easily said than done. Just do it the best way so that all may see. No need of criticisism

This is the most ridiculous a statement I have ever heard an educate person make.since when did following the law become a sin.the Last time l was in accra, half of the 2 lane street at UTC was occupied by people selling with their wares blatantly displayed on the street. What kind of country is this.people cannot walk on the si sidewalk because traders have taken over.for political expediency people are allowed to throw garbage and toilet into open gutters. The whole city is so filthy that visitors to the city finds it difficult to by kelewele or Kenney outside,let alone eat it for fear of contracting cholera and dysentery. For this so- called expert to make such a stupid statement is beyond any imagination. I would rather lose an election than to continue to put my people's health and lives in jeopardy. Mr whoever you are, what the mayor did is what real educated people who travel do when they return home.to teach the people to obey the laws of hygiene. Anybody who refuses must pay the penalty.

The best mayor ever. Ghanaians don't want progress so they hate people who do things different. Let's see how circle and the kwame nkrumah interchange would look like in the next few months. This man brought order and sanity

Have you seen the swarms that are encroaching the newly built overpass in Accra? They do that to divert attentions from their own incompetency.

It's sad that after half a century of independence our so-called honorable politicians are so shallow minded in developing policies to enhance law abiding and move the country forward. I'm sure Kotei will disparage the officers who sacked the villagers who ease themselves at the beach where they fish. Think! We are in 2017 and the leaders need to look beyond encouraging hawking in the streets! God help Ghana!

I remember quite well during the last Kuffour administration, they tried to clean up accra and they lost a few parliamentary seats in accra and they immediately stopped the exercise and allowed the traders to return to the streets. This is the kind politicians we have in the country. The irony is that the least opportunity they get want to travel to Europe,America and Dubai ,countries whose cities have been built with discipline. In these place,when you are found pissing in public you get arrested and fined or given a citation and if you are not lucky you will be sent for psychiatric evaluation.

PEHAPS HE WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING THE WRONG WAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THEIR PROPERTY DESTROYED WITHOUT MERCY. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WERE BEGGING TO JUST EMPTY THEIR CONTAINERS WITH SPARE PARTS AT THE ARTICULATOR STATION BUT THEIR REQUESTS WERE DENIED. TODAY THESE SAME PLACES ARE BACK AS FITTING PLACES WITH EVEN WORSE CONDITIONS. MANY OF THEM FROM THE NORTH PLEDGED TO VOTE AGAINST THE NDC AND PROBABLY DID. THE BIG PEOPLE WHO HAD BUILT WALLS, MOST PROBABLY NPP SUPPORTERS, WERE SPARED. THE POOR WERE EJECTED AS USUAL. I WISH THAT OKO GUY HAD ALSO LOST HIS SEAT.

The former Mayor did an excellent job clearing the squatters and hawkers who filled the Odaw river with saw dust and blocked the river and caused a major flood disaster in Accra. He was more concerned with doing the right thing and not for votes. Now just because of politics the very same squatters are back with NPP flags hoisted. Is this progress ?? All the roads are filled with hawkers. Is this progress ??
