In the days of ancient Rome, many structures that were built,collapsed, killing large numbers of people.The emperor issued an order.Shall we say a decree.”Anytime the forms are to be removed from arches and floors,the architect and builder has to stand underneath the structure for one hour.” This official, before he was sent home, should have been subjected to stand under the bridge for am hour, as traffic passes overhead.

Not voting PPP, they got my vote once and thats it no more, they are a disgrace and a let down to all the people who voted for them.

The AFC leaders are also the first to tell you if they made a mistake unlike the poo poo poo who tries to defend the indefensible, blame it on other people and cower and hide.

Accountability is what we need, if you look at all the issues the AFC raises in parliament and elsewhere their arguments are on solid ground with proper legal and other relevant groundings.

Listen to jagdeo when he explained why they didnt submit the business plan for the money the EU was providing – it is pure hogwash. When you have a leader like that who thinks that everyone are dumber than he is and he is the smart alec that he can say anything and people will just roll over he has to go and the group behind him also needs to exit.

The PPP has to learn a fundamental lesson which is that they will be held accountable. If the PPP loses the next election and they clean up their acts. They will have to reconfigure and come clean on a lot of the illegalities they were involved with .

Answer to my question I am not voting PPP in 2011.

Satish ! You are right in your outrage. The bridge should be a land mark and a proud infrastructural work in the community.

What fruits will the investigation bear. Will he get jail time.
Some of these guys need to do some time. How was the contract assigned, who write the cheque, who inspected the work? All need to be housed in Camp St.
No wonder this country can’t move forward. Obama said it straight in Ghana today………..stop skimming 20% off the top from loans and grants it belongs to the people of the country, And not because you hold the occasional election, your are deemed to be democratic.

We are told that the the senior officer dealing with this matter in Region Four has been sent on leave!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT SORT OF LIMP-WRISTED RESPONSE IS THIS??
1 NAME THE SENIOR OFFICER.
2 NAME THE CONTRACTOR.
3 ENSURE THE CONTRACTOR NEVER WORKS FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
4 CONSIDER REDRESS THROUGH THE COURTS.

‘In process’ inspections? By whom? These so-called officers bear glorious titles such as ‘engineers’ but with no corresponding qualifications. Even if they did inspections likely they couldn’t see past their noses. City Hall has no architect, Housing has no architect, you all expect regions to have engineers??
