[Dr. Daniel Henaku Ofori @dy_henaku]

It is highly immature to suggest that citizens who have entrusted you with their votes and elected you to office should be the ones proposing solutions. Even more objectionable is dismissing or condemning them when they criticize the government. Public officials are elected to address challenges and solve problems; therefore, the responsibility for developing and implementing solutions rests primarily with those in power!

[#Fixthecountry @Ghfixthecountry]

When we (including you) chanted #FixTheCountry, #StopGalamseyNow, and #OccupyJulorbiHouse, you never proffered solutions.

It was a demand for elected leaders to do what they are paid to do.

Telling us to keep quiet unless we bring "solutions" is wild amnesia.

That Aboboya and trotro part I don’t trust because most times the authorities are focused on just private cars while these trotro drivers get away with a lot, most of their cars are not even road worthy sigh. Also while at it, they should fix the traffic lights!

[Grudy Smith @grudy_smith]

You approach a junction. The traffic light is dead. No officer. Everyone inches forward. A camera flashes. GH₵120, sent to the car owner. Who is at fault, you or the light? 🧵

[Grudy Smith @grudy_smith]

An officer can no longer collect your fine on the roadside. So where does the money go now? 🧵👇

[Nana B. @koboateng]

We’ve had a ruthless leader before. What we haven’t tried in 69 years is consistently telling the people we pay with our taxes the truth. No excuses. No party loyalty. No worshipping politicians. Just holding them accountable and making sure they do the work we pay them to do. Thats how Ghana will work.

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Every day Ghana gives us another reason why https://t.co/jwMKoHicme matters.

From October 1, the new traffic cameras start full enforcement.

Cross the road at the wrong place? Up to GH₵60.

Get on or off a trotro at the wrong place? Up to GH₵60.

Sell on the road or walkway? Up to GH₵600.

Drive while using your phone? Up to GH₵600.

Laws must be obeyed but chale let’s talk about the other side too.

Traffic light broken for months? Who pays?

Streetlights leave people walking home in darkness for years? Who pays?

Dangerous pothole causes a trotro or motorbike to swerve and somebody gets hurt? Who pays?

There are clear fines when the ordinary Ghanaian fails the system. Where are the clear consequences when the system fails the ordinary Ghanaian?

That is why @1GhanaMustWork matters.

Don’t support it because Nana B said so. Support it because your complaint should matter too. If Ghana can hold us accountable, we must be able to hold Ghana accountable too.

Ghana Must Work. 🇬🇭

[Nana B. @koboateng]

If the goal is really to save lives, enforcement should be the last part of the system not the first. Give us safe roads. Clear road markings. Working traffic lights. Safe crossings. Proper signs. Then you can start fining people for breaking the law. You cannot skip half the homework and come with a red pen to mark ours. Something is wrong o

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Herh! These people don’t rate us o ei

[EFIAODO @Efiaodo1]

Traffic lights don’t even work but somehow yall have a budget to install cameras ? Great idea but how bout we get the lights to work first !!

[Lατιf @iLatif_]

One thing about ghana is we don’t do the basics. We dey skip ABCD dey do MNOP. This is greatt, but how many traffic lights are fully working in this country, especially accra? Streetlights too be another problem, road signs another problem

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Before your cameras catch drivers at night, remember some of those same roads have been left in darkness for years. Where are the streetlights?

We are not saying people should break the law. Punish dangerous driving but where is this same energy when the system puts our lives in danger?

A streetlight can stay dead for years. A pothole can sit there until somebody gets hurt. A dangerous road can remain dangerous until people accept it as normal.

No camera. No deadline. No fine. Nobody is punished.

Then when the ordinary Ghanaian makes a mistake, suddenly the camera works, the system works and the punishment is ready.

That is the disrespect. So the system that couldn’t see our suffering can suddenly see our offence?

Don’t only remember that we exist when it is time to collect money from us. Remember us when it is time to keep us alive too. SMH

[Nana B. @koboateng]

From October 1, government says TRAFFITECH-GH cameras will start catching traffic offences and sending us fines.

Okay 👍🏾 .

Now point some of those cameras at the potholes too. When a pothole is reported, let the authority responsible also receive a message:

“You have 14 days to fix this road.”

If they don’t, there should be consequences too because how can the system find us, send us a notice, give us a deadline and punish us for missing it but when the streetlight has been dead for years or the road has been destroying tyres and putting lives in danger, we are the ones told to be patient?

The ordinary Ghanaian cannot always be the only one with a deadline. Government must have deadlines too. 🇬🇭

[Nana B. @koboateng]

Maybe TRAFFITECH-GH can teach Ghana something bigger than traffic enforcement.

Think about it. We now have technology that can see a problem, record where and when it happened, identify who is responsible, send them a notice and demand action.

Beautiful. I love it.

Now do it to government too.

Pothole reported? Record it. Identify the authority responsible. Give them a deadline.

Streetlights not working? Same thing.

Dangerous traffic light? Same thing.

Deadline passes and nothing is fixed? Fine the people responsible.

Why should accountability stop when it reaches the government office? I don’t want fewer consequences for Ghanaians. I want consequences for everybody responsible for making Ghana work. Ghana Must Work 🇬🇭
