The fastest way to detect manipulation is to watch for people who push urgency without giving you time to think, so build a rule where you never agree to important decisions in the same moment they are presented, because time pressure is often used to bypass your judgment.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt The recent project I worked on was in the western region and it was a road project. I was even sad that a region that provides most of our raw materials has such kind of roads. There should be improvement in our road infrastructure and transportation system.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt Yes, our entire transportation and highway system is bad. Even the choice of pavement structure is bad. Some roads don’t need to be asphalted but they have wearing coarse and those that need to be asphalted have been surface dressed. Our roads are really bad
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt That’s why I said his examples were not clear but the fact is road expansion alone can’t control congestion. No one buys car because there’s less traffic but rather base on their financial capabilities.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt Let’s consider population growth and increase in vehicle volume in the future. There’s nothing wrong with expansion but we can’t mainly depend that. We have to consider all factors. Now that we don’t have the infrastructure, we have to use other methods to ease congestion.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt If you are talking about improving our road network, that’s fine. In his explanation, he meant widening of the carriage ways. If you study our transport system, it encourages people to use their own cars. This will increase vehicular volumes on our roads.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt and you think road expansion is the viable solution? Do you think the country can fund the expansion of all congested roads? Proper regulations and making good use of state institutions can save us these costs.
His examples might not be clear but he is not wrong. Road expansion alone can’t be a long term solution to traffic congestion. If the transportation system in our country is not well regulated and laws are not enforced, these expansions would worsen congestion in the future.
@Sucresidue @benk_bennettt He is not clueless wae. We call them High Occupancy Vehicles. Using them is one of the best ways of controlling traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is as a result of several factors, and these factors must be considered in planning and making decisions.
@MantseBi_Ago He is not wrong, we have to consider other methods for traffic control and management. We cannot depend mainly on road expansion to control traffic congestion. It’s time we encourage and improve the use of high occupancy vehicles to reduce the number of vehicles on our roads.
In less than 12 hours, over 3,500 Ghanaians have signed this petition. This sends a clear message that many citizens want accountability, transparency, and meaningful reforms in Ghana football. The leadership of the Ghana Football Association should recognize that these concerns are widely shared and deserve a serious response.

PETITION REQUESTING AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION
To:
The Executive Director
Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)
Subject: Request for an Independent Investigation into the Affairs of the Ghana Football Association
Dear Sir/Madam,
I respectfully petition the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to conduct an independent, impartial, and thorough investigation into matters relating to the governance, financial management, and administration of the Ghana Football Association, including matters involving the conduct of Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku @kurtokraku and any relevant oversight by the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams @HonKofiAdams, where appropriate.
I have obtained information and materials that I believe warrant careful examination by your Office. I am prepared to cooperate fully with any lawful investigation by providing the information and supporting evidence in my possession.
I respectfully request that EOCO examine, where appropriate:
- The management and use of funds relating to the Black Stars and other national teams.
- Financial accountability concerning international friendly matches, sponsorships, broadcasting, and other football-related transactions.
- Whether applicable laws, financial regulations, procurement requirements, or governance standards have been complied with.
- Any other matters that arise from an independent review of the available evidence.
This petition is made in the interest of transparency, accountability, and the protection of the public interest. I respectfully ask EOCO to assess the evidence independently and take any action that is justified by its findings.
I remain available to assist with any lawful investigation.
Yours faithfully,
Kofi Nunoo-Mensah
Fredrick Acheampong has long been regarded as one of Kurt Okraku's closest allies within the Ghana Football Association. If Ghanaians are demanding accountability and transparency from the current leadership, then that call should apply to every official who has played a significant role in the administration. No one should be exempt from public scrutiny or accountability.
Extremely corrupt bad guys
