Government has sent a such and such (i.e. 10 or 15) member delegation to Dubai to strike a partnership with contractors to secure assistance in the building sector. The delegation traveled on you and I's tax money to go and learn how to build AFFORDABLE houses in our tropical country from a non-tropical country. blah blah blah.... more talking, little action (and sometimes i think little sense).
hi,
I know I know, I'm impatient but can you blame me. I mean let's look at this from a 'me and you' point of view;
1) The capital's population increases by the second daily right? What has been done about already existing buildings? Some do NOT even have basic amenities!! In this day and age toilets and bathrooms are 10 to 15 metres away from main residences!! Cooooooooome on!!! Siiiiiiiiiiigh. I heard very recently that there actually is some sort of a law (by-law) against building residential and commercial edifices without toilets but as usual the problem (which rears its ugly head in 99.9999% of laws) of enforcement is as unmanageable as the unlawful act itself!! Amazingly there are new residential areas springing up(Such as Kasoa, Ashongman, etc) that in my opinion could easily be used as an opportunity to BEGIN rectifying this societal insanity! but ... hmmm...
2) Young adults can NOT move out of home as late as 30 years old because of a very silly '2 years advance rent' requirement. Ok maybe we're not an individualistic society and we do not mind spending our adult lives in veeeeeery little privacy and all that, but you have to agree that we gradually are becoming one. It is about time our society (albeit conservative) realizes that a person ceases being a child at 18 and thus requires to begin to practice taking responsibility for themselves, you know... paying house bills, managing finances and so on and so forth. By the way, y in heaven's name is a person obligated to to pay a landlord rent in excess of 23 months??!! WHAT is the logic?! No wonder Ghanaians resist change, most things in our lives stay same anyway until some one or thing comes in to shake us out of our comfort zone. Now that's a topic for discussion in an entirely different conversation (trust me). ;-)
3) land!!
4) Leaders do not actually care that a person has to walk, virtually trek just to attend to nature's call. what is wrong with us??! Is it that we have some ingrained sickness against progress and ... I don't know... growth?!! It's like building a car without an exhaust pipe!! TAKE A MOMENT AND IMAGINE... a car, no exhaust... Anaaaa?
WHAT SHALL WE DO? But charley, how man fit build house without toilet? why, e no dey chop? dis tins dey bore paa ooo. Siiiiiiigh but e go bi, e no bi so?
