In a civilized world New Takoradi community leaders would have filed a law suit barring the port authorities from expanding the harbor. A project like this would have been debated in parliament. The community would have compelled the port authorities to issue an expert testimony of the impact of the harbor expansion on fishermen. Ghana Ports and Harbor Authority is one of the most corrupt institutions in the country. Employees of GHAPOHA are the most highly paid in the country. They distribute billions of dollars in revenue among themselves. They think they have earned the money. But that revenue should go to the government. GHAPOHA is a monopoly. The government should be able to trace every pesewa that GHAPOHA collects.

“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.
He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.
“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”
“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

You are lacking in analytical skills. Ghana is not an abstract concept. A community's means of livelihood has been destroyed. The people of the community can no longer earn a living because of the expansion of the port. And an idiot like you claim that they have to shut up because the expansion of the port "benefits Ghana". Abowa!

Why must the government build a new technical school? What happened to T-Poly? If the local fishermen are truly displaced and out of work I am sure the fishes did not die but moved further away. If the fishing industry is a sustainaly viable industry then the forming of cooperatives to fund real motorized fishing vessels to go far and wide could be an answer. Maritime engineering and mechanical skills required to maintain sea ferrying vessels require skills and experience not the apprentice setup scheme we have as accepted norm for trade groups in Ghana. If it is necessary to expand technical training I say expand T-Poly mechanical and electrical curriculum, buildings and staff to accommodate expected increases in enrollment. Let us stop the waste of money honorable Adoko.

They don't have time to listen to anybody since there's part of $250 billion sitting somewhere for them so they can send their children to overseas schools/colleges/universities and buying big mansions in Canada, Dubai, UK and the USA- who cares for the people of Ghana whether we survive or die! New Takoradi(BUTUAH) of old is not what we see today- our greedy politicians don,t care about anything!
