People saying the Ga Traditional Council should “use the same energy” to keep Accra clean are missing how authority works. The noise ban is a traditional and cultural matter under the authority of the Ga State, which is why they can enforce it. …open thread

@DatGalRuby You and the entire council is delusional. Which is more important the health and well being of their subjects or appeasing the gods? Careful how you answer this question. Its a trap.

@kwasi_45 Interesting argument, but responsibility has layers. Do you expect traditional leaders to wake people up daily and teach basic sanitation too? The same citizens litter gutters, dump waste indiscriminately, and then outsource accountability entirely.

@kwasi_45 By dat logic we shld also place e burden of ending galamsey solely on chiefs n ignore e role of gov institutions, regulators, and citizens benefiting from it.

@kwasi_45 Every authority has its jurisdiction, n every citizen has a responsibility. Discipline cannot be legislated into people who refuse accountability.

@DatGalRuby Clearly the old ways of sensitizing and educating people have never worked for Ghanaians when it comes to sanitation. Think about it.. that's why they've made a task force for their stupid ban on noise making. COVID Lockdown, pedestrian overpasses. All these wouldn't work
