@eddie_wrt The soldiers who were ordering people out of their cars, along with all those in power(MPs, MCEs, Assembly officials) parading around with cameras, should return and help clear the rubbish before we start hearing about cholera and Lassa fever.
@SIKAOFFICIAL1 It's heartbreaking that millions of Ghanaians can cry out over Salifu Amoako, yet those in power remain silent. Nothing will bring those lives back, but accountability is the least their families deserve.
@_adjeibrefo@THESTATENEWSS From the video, there are no dustbins on site. I'm not defending littering, but if there's nowhere to put it, why is the person sitting in front of it the one being criticized?
1. The Presidency said citizens were “strongly encouraged” to participate, how did people understand this and why were there reports of harassment?
2. Civic responsibility should be encouraged, not enforced through intimidation. Celebrate those who willingly showed up. Use the moment to educate and build a culture of responsibility.
3. Ordering people out of their cars or screaming at them achieves the opposite.
Also, responsibility doesn’t rest with citizens alone.
Still, in many places that were distilled, heaps of rubbish are by the roadside, should it rain again, a lot will go back into the drains.
@lydiaforson Exactly. The authorities who came out of their offices were acting like bitter SHS prefects, expecting citizens to do the work instead of doing it themselves. You encourage patriotism, you don't force it.
