    Denigrating the people of the Zongo community and creating a Ministry for political purposes to show affection to the Zongo people will surely be hollow.

    The people of Zongo will benefit from whatever they will get out of ...

    So long as the majority of the people in the Zongos like the idea and take advantage of what the Ministry provides for them; so long as the Ministry is able to execute its mandate and so long as the whole of Accra becomes com ...

    Nana had lived with the Zongo people and hence why perhaps he is keen to tackle the socio -economic issues that hits Ghana around the Zongo areas.

    If that is the reason for its creation then it can't be sustained. What would other sections of the society think if large chunks of money are sunk every year into Zongos just to keep them away from voting for NDC? There wo ...

  • Ghanaba Babs in the Diaspora. 7 years ago

    This is a rubbish article. If fisher folks could ditch Mahama and even Ndoum considering all the goodies at their disposal, Nana and zongo will be a chicken feed.

    Sorry Mr Writer your logic does not add up.

    NPP are desperate liers!!!

  • Sameboy 7 years ago

    Sorry Mr. President not so fast. In the Zongo areas most people there are foreigners: from Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Guinea, Senegal/Gambia. Helping foreigners living in these areas will mean not helping Ghana.

  • Abeeku Mensah 7 years ago

    Massive affordable housing, coupled with radical reforms of our education system would go a long of ending our interminable Zongo problem.

    It is a good move by NPP but let us hope it will not deepen the mistrust the Moslem have for them. The zongo people are proud of their environment. And will not be ready to give an each of their land for drainage or any other ...
