NDC and NPP and their politics of inaction (Sanitation)

Majority of the people in Teshie and Nungua have no access to toilet facilities and have to use the coast as places of convenience and even in those places where there are few toilet facilities you could hardly stand the stench.

Please you can verify this by going to where Dutch Hotel is situated at Nungua and witness how people troop to the coast in the morning to attend nature's call.

Many people living in cities and rural parts of Ghana live in unsanitary conditions, and use hazardous pollutants such as charcoal with all the health impacts.

"In terms of visibility, garbage or solid waste management remains one of the most intractable problems within Greater Accra Metropolitan Authority although its health implications may not be as serious as that of the water sanitation complex. Residential domestic waste is estimated to form a greater proportion of all sources of solid wastes produced in Ghanaian urban settlements. Currently, the Waste Management Department of AMA, for example, is only capable of collecting 60 per cent of the more than 900 tonnes per diem of refuse and about 300 tonnes of night soil. Garbage or solid waste disposal is dominated by open dumping of garbage, which is practised by 83 per cent of all households; only 11 per cent of the metropolitan population, often the wealthy, benefit from home collection service".Source: Peter J. Marcotullio and Gordon McGranahan from their book Scaling Urban Environmental Challenges From Local to Global and Back, 2007.

On the other hand our MPs, ministers, vice president, the president, their cronies and families live in total luxury with mansions, sport utility vehicles, bodyguards, fat salaries, fat bonuses, house servants and they have all the resources of the state at their disposal. When they leave office they propose special emolument packages for themselves yet they claim to be serving the poor. How can it be?

What direct, measurable and tangible action has the NDC taken to help the people of Teshie, Taifa, Nima and Nungua to overcome the difficulty of not having toilet and waste management facilities? What action has the Mills led administration taken to ensure that the people of Adenta will have access to water supply everyday?
