I\u2019ve had enough as a citizen of this country of ours. I\u2019ve had enough of the indiscipline and wanton disregard for basic tenets of civility in Ghana. I\u2019m not that old, but I\u2019ve witnessed over the years the rate at which this beautiful country of ours is becoming more lawless and indisciplined each passing day, without any conscience being pricked to what we are doing to our unborn generations should this state of affairs continue.<\/p>\n
Now to my main beef with the authorities of the La-Nkwatanang Municipal Assembly; workers who are paid with taxpayers money to ensure that the municipality that they preside over of which Madina Zongo Junction and its environs are part of is kept neat, free of encroachers and an orderly place conducive for commuters and legitimate business owners, are sleeping on their job and refusing to carry out their mandate leading to the ugly spectacle we see at that place now.<\/p>\n
As a resident of Adenta Housing down for the past fifteen years, I have seen how Madina Zongo Junction has developed to become a major commercial centre, partly due to the construction of the Tetteh Quarshie- Madina road which has opened it up and attracted businesses to set up there, notably the banks and other financial institutions, and also the fact most families are relocating to communities beyond Adenta such as Oyarifa, Oyibi and Danfa. It has also become a transit point for passengers travelling to other regions, hence the volume of traffic on any day is enormous making free movement almost impossible.<\/p>\n
