One of our biggest problem right now is the lack of governance.Anybody can do ahything they like and get away with it.We cannot allow people to install billboars,transformers and other structures without permit and adequate safety inspections.If a billboard Operator cannot get it inspected and certified every 6 months then we shouldn't allow them to operate.

The company can give reasonable amount to cater for him but the whole of his life. The government has to come in to help because money was paid to the government before the billboard was put out there

Why is Kwesi Pratt complaining about the National Cathedral Project. Kwesi Pratt is a stomach journalist. Has Kwesi Pratt ever condemned Ghana Government for sinking millions of tax payers’ money into the annual Hajj operation to Mecca? This same Kwesi Pratt is always quick to condemn Israel and supports the Palestinian cause but will never condemn the slavery of black Africans by Arabs in Mauritania. Why is it so? Your guess is as good as mine. Kwesi Pratt has insatiable appetite for free money and so will do everything to solicit cheap oil money from rich Muslim nations. Shame on Kwesi Pratt. If this is how journalism is meant to be then, I am sorry, journalism is a dangerous profession.

May the Lord soften this gentleman's heart and keep him safe for the rest of his life.

WHAT!

A GHCedis 2,500 for this kind of injury? Patrick, I cried when I heard your story. You don't deserve to suffer like this. This company should be sued heavily and also, make sure that they take good care of you for the rest of your life. Your whole family should also be compensated. Please, don't take the amount they are giving you. The government should intercede and assist you to fight this fight.
I feel sorry for what you are going through.

I pray that The GOOD OLD LORD GUIDE YOU AND GIVE YOU AN EVERLASTING STRENGTH.
