@THESTATENEWSS How can you load a car like and Police are allowing these things on our roads. I saw some this morning at Hohoe. They overload the car to extent that, the car is struggling to move. You see cars like this, arrest them and fine whoever is responsible.
Accra is drowning. Again.
And before anybody comes to tell me โitโs a national problem, letโs not politicize itโ, I already know. We all know. Since independence, this river has been swallowing this city every single rainy season. NPP came. NDC came. NPP came back. NDC came back. Same water. Same bodies. Same โweโve set up a committee to look into it.โ
Eight years. NPP had eight years. Not four, eight. And Dr Bawumia wants to stand in front of us now and talk like this just started happening. Prez. John Mahama had his turn too. Same engineering language. Same promises. Nobody touched the Odaw. Everyone keeps blaming the citizens without a solution.
But you know whatโs crazy? I sat with Kennedy Agyapongโs interview with Kwesi Pratt, a man who was inside that same NPP machine, and he laid out something none of these men in power have had the courage to say out loud. He said dredge the Odaw below sea level. Clear it. Sack the illegal structures choking it. And then donโt just leave it as a drain; build restaurants along it, put boats on it, run it from Sabo like a proper waterfront. Heโs seen it done in Dubai. A river that generates income instead of a river that generates funerals.
Thatโs the difference. Everybody else is treating the Odaw like a problem to manage. This man is treating it like an asset nobodyโs developed.
So my question is simple. If the vision existed inside your own party for eight years, why is Accra still choking? Why do we have to wait for an election cycle to remember the river exists? You donโt need our vote to dredge a river. You needed the will. And none of you had it.
We are tired of โitโs a national problem.โ We know itโs national. Show us the plan that survives past the campaign season.
@ghonetv You donโt need to visit any victim of this flood to know how they felt. Stop fooling. I am not in Accra but the videos alone I am seeing is making me feel so bad for them. Mentality like this is the reason why this country wonโt go forward.
