Ghanaian attitudes can only be fixed if the economy is fixed first – Int’l Diplomatic Consultant
He notes that if the economy is fixed under good leaders, the country will run to the satisfaction of all and create compliance to laws by the populace. When the economy is fixed, you’re prepared to make stronger laws and work with the judiciary and the people,” he said. According to him, fixing the country means fixing the laws and economy. It is our leaders so there can be no fixing the attitude without the economy being fixed. He believes the Ghanaian system has been destroyed by political leaders who rule instead of lead the country and called for an end in political juggling.

‘Our refuse dump is higher than the Krobo Mountains’ – Residents of Okornya
A visit by GhanaWeb to the refuse site saw children openly defecating on the refuse dump, a situation the residents say is worrying. The horrible stench from the refuse dump can be smelled several meters away, but residents are still seen dumping refuse on the site as they had no option. It really stinks when it rains.”The residents sarcastically suggested that the refuse dump, reminiscent of the Krobo Mountains, the ancestral home of the Krobos where indigenes visit to socialize during the annual Ngmayemi festival, serve as an alternative for the Krobo Mountains during the festival. “We have the Krobo Mountains but this refuse dump is higher than the Krobo Mountains so if I were the chief of this area, I’d propose that we use this as the Krobo Mountains during our festival,” Gamah Michael, a resident suggested sarcastically. He said he has personally climbed the refuse dump several times to burn the refuse which in the end affected his health.
