NDC and NPP and their politics of inaction (Housing)


What direct and measurable action has the NDC taken to improve the state of the housing infrastructure in the country? A visit to any village or town gives the same picture of poor housing and poor quality of public service. People are living in mud/thatched houses with bamboo/raffia leafs as roofing sheet with no electricity, potable water and clinics. They live in a subsistence environment without social security, health insurance and are condemned to poverty, desperation and hopelessness. Those living in urban areas are without jobs, without mortgage, and face high utility bills with poor public services. They face constant barrage of water and energy disruptions everyday. In every region the situation is not different. Go to Nima, Agbogloshie, New Town, James Town, Sodom & Gomorrah and see the kind of living conditions and environment in which fellow Ghanaians are living in this 21st Century. People are living in squalid conditions not even fit for animals yet we have NDC and NPP always promising to build us castles, swimming pools and what have you.

When will the NDC and NPP actually think about Ghanaians? When will they provide for the needs of the people? When will Ghanaians living in Ho, Accra, Kumasi, Nsawam, Cape Coast, Takoradi, Axim, Nzema, Sunyani, Mampong and Bechem have access to good drinking water flowing direct into their homes?

When will commuters from Taifa to Accra or Circle be spared the agony of having to stay in traffic for hours? What action are the NDC and NPP politicians who have ruled Ghana for for the past 28 years taken to develop Ghana for all to benefit?

They take taxes from Ghanaians and use it to buy land Cruisers for themselves while majority of the people live on less than two dollars a day.
