The Ghana Armed Forces is set to deploy personnel, engineers, and specialized equipment to clear major drains, streams, and waterways as part of a nationwide operation aimed at tackling flooding.
The military also stated that structures illegally erected within waterways and identified as posing an immediate threat to public safety and flood-control efforts will be removed without delay.

It just occurred to me we can create huge employment opportunities in the @GhArmedForces if we create a pipeline that sends engineering graduates from universities straight into the army. They can help rebuild Ghana in a huge and meaningful way plus a more disciplined workforce
Suddenly, everybody has something to say about the attitude of Ghanaians.
But weren’t we all here a few years ago when we were told to “fix ourselves”? We pushed back then, didn’t we? Now, somehow, everyone has suddenly decided that our attitude is the reason we’re where we are.
So let me ask again: at what point do our institutions take responsibility? At what point do the people we pay to plan, regulate, enforce and lead accept their share of the blame?
I’ll never stop saying this: when you go to countries where the streets are clean and the drains work, it’s not because their citizens are magically better people.
Yes, attitude matters,personal responsibility matters and we all have a role to play.
But functioning societies don’t operate on attitude alone; they have bins where they’re needed, they enforce sanitation laws, they stop people from building in waterways, they maintain infrastructure, they punish offenders.
Institutions do their jobs.
It’s both.
Yet somehow, every conversation in Ghana now ends with, “It’s our attitude.”
So why are we paying people?
Fine. Let’s say I fix my attitude today.
Will my road stop flooding?
Hello @CyrilRamaphosa Ghanaians are not interested in any form of visit from you or your subordinates/vigilantes! What has happened over the past couple of months has been nothing short of barbaric! As a people, we really love ourselves and hold the interest of our people in high esteem!! You are NOT WELCOME!!
The same Ghanaians who throw rubbish into gutters here will travel abroad and follow the rules not because their character suddenly changed. They follow the rules because the system there will punish them if they don’t. You can’t beg people to “behave properly” and call that governance. No serious country runs on begging.
African teams with great talent pools need to start going in for world class coaches and stop giving the job to former players and locals all in the name of patriotism, unless that person has great coaching credentials.
My position on flooding will never change.
It is not enough to keep blaming ordinary people.
There’s this constant narrative that Ghanaians are the cause of all our own problems, but that ignores a critical part of the story.
We have institutions whose job it is to enforce planning regulations, prevent illegal developments, protect waterways, ensure proper waste disposal and act before disasters happen.
When they fail to do that, the consequences are borne by all of us .
Yes, individual responsibility matters. But so does institutional responsibility.
It is really unfair to reduce a complex problem to, “Ghanaians are the cause of their own suffering,” when there are systems that were created precisely to prevent these failures.
I won’t lie, years ago I probably held that same simplistic view. But the more I’ve learned, the more my perspective has evolved.
Flooding is rarely the result of one person’s actions, it’s the ripple effect of years of weak enforcement, poor planning, institutional failure, and individual irresponsibility.
Until we’re willing to hold EVERYONE accountable, not just the public, we’ll keep having the same conversation every rainy season.
First they came for the Nigerians, and I did not speak out, because I was not Nigerian.
Then they came for the Zimbabweans, and I did not speak out, because I was not Zimbabwean.
Then they came for the Ghanaians, and I did not speak out, because I was not Ghanaian.
Then they came for me, a true South African and there was no one left to speak for me.
You do understand that there are people who have done everything right and still have their homes flooded, right?
Other people’s indiscipline can become someone else’s tragedy.
There’s something called a ripple effect.
