DOES THE NDC GOVERNMENT LEARN FROM THE PAST?

Some may consider me a critic of the NDC government. There is a kernel of truth to that. I also criticize the NPP from time to time. My basic problem is that the flood in Accra that has beset the capital city this rainy season (June-August) is not new. The city was flooded last year (2015) and unfortunately some of the citizens drown and many died through electrocution because a gas station caught fire. Precious lives were destroyed and thousands of hawkers were displaced. It came to light that a loan had been provided by an American company to construct gutters and redirect the water in the event of severe rainfall. When the casualties of the dead became the concern of the nation, President Mahama came and gave all kinds of promises. However, as the issue died down, nothing was done to prevent the same problem from happening. Well as fate would have it the flood has returned. The sad thing I read last year was one of the NDC members justified their inability to do something about the flood by saying that even the city of Houston in Texas also flooded. I was disappointed with that statement because flood is a natural disaster that happens. However, the point is that what do you learn from it when it happens? Yes, some people died in Houston, Texas but it was not the fault of the city council managers, the Mayor, or the governor. The state has done something about it. However, in the case of Accra which is the capital city of Ghana, where the president lives, they do nothing to provide safety networks in the event of flood. Therefore, the same event keeps happening repeatedly without anything being done to prevent disaster. What does the NDC government and the mayor of Accra do to protect the people of Accra? What do they do with the unabated loans they take from IMF, China, and other nations? These are some of the reasons I think that Ghana needs another president and political party that will take the nation in a new and better direction. Currently, nothing in Ghana is working because of ineffective and incompetent leadership. Therefore, let's pray for divine intervention for Ghana. I wish and pray for safety for all the residents of the city of Accra.
