Hello @GhanaMet. I think you’ve done a good job so far with your weather updates. However, you need to make them simpler. I gave your weekly outlook to Claude to simplify it for me. Can we have something like these in addition to your international standard reporting format?
Ghanaians don't want to pay D-levy but the government didn't focus on attitude. They engineered a way to get us to pay it.
However, for floods, they want to focus on attitude instead of engineering a solution.
Be there wai
When we tragically lost eight Ghanaians in the helicopter crash, including two ministers, there were strong assurances that the fight against galamsey would be intensified. Yet beyond the initial statements, what has really changed?
If anything, the biggest change has been the decline in media coverage. When was the last time the government provided a comprehensive public update on the fight against illegal mining? One could easily assume the problem has disappeared, when in reality it has simply faded from the headlines. The next major environmental disaster will bring it back into public discussion.
The devastating floods in Accra will follow the same pattern. There will be public outrage, emergency meetings, directives, and promises of decisive action. Some short-term measures will be implemented. Then, as public attention shifts elsewhere, the urgency will fade until the next tragedy forces the issue back onto the national agenda.
This cycle of governing by crisis is one of our biggest governance challenges. We react to disasters instead of consistently managing the underlying risks. We announce interventions but rarely sustain the institutional focus, accountability, and follow-through needed to solve problems permanently.
Whether it is galamsey, flooding, power sector challenges, or road safety, the pattern is remarkably similar. The issue dominates the news after a tragedy, momentum builds briefly, then gradually dissipates before meaningful, lasting reforms are embedded.
Until we break that cycle and build institutions that focus on sustained implementation rather than episodic responses, many of the challenges Ghana has faced for decades will continue to resurface.
Please stop amplifying Ebo hwaen hwaen. People are going thru real tragic losses and trauma from the floods and here goes another charlatan that should never have been platformed being opportunistic. Kmt.

He writes all that, and instead of engaging with the structural problems that made Asare’s life so hard, and keep so many others impoverished, the politician ends with “God is the lifter of men.”
And we’re supposed to believe these people care about Ghana and Ghanaians.
@eastsportsman I think it has the same storyline as Ghana in 06. First WC appearance and we make the knockout stage in a group that had Italy(13th), Czech(2nd), USA(5th) and our reward was a match against star studded Brazilian team (1st)
