In the end, it all comes down to governance. Communal labour cannot substitute for working institutions.
In 2023, the Auditor-General audited how two Assemblies, La-Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly (LaNMMA) in the Greater Accra Region and Awutu Senya East Municipal Assembly (ASEMA) in the Central Region, collected and carted away solid waste from their markets.
The audit found that the Assemblies’ own waste trucks were broken down for years over faults that were repairable. There was no maintenance plan. Waste went uncollected for weeks at a time.
The large waste containers at the markets were far fewer than needed. The overflow did not disappear. It piled up around the markets and washed into gutters and drains. The same drains we want to desilt after every flood.
Zoomlion was contracted to lift most of the waste. It underperformed, yet was paid in full. The Assemblies quietly used their own limited resources to cover the gap.
And the accountability loop that allowed this: Zoomlion wrote its own performance reports, the Assemblies endorsed them without checking, and payment followed from the District Assemblies Common Fund.
This is not an isolated finding. The Auditor-General’s annual reports on the Common Fund have repeatedly cited the same contractor, across different contracts, for the better part of two decades. The same issues keep appearing because nothing structural changes.
Part of the reason is how the money flows. Payment is deducted at source by the Fund administrator before the Assemblies ever see it. So the level of government that can see whether the work is done has no control over payment. And the level that controls payment does no checking.
Clean the drains this weekend. But until the trucks are fixed, the containers provided and the work verified before payment, we will meet again at the next flood.

First in my bloodline to witness women discovering new angles to show their nyash.
If I travelled back in time to tell my clan about this they’d burn me at the stake for making it up!

In my entire life I've only heard the phrase "boys will be boys" used when like a 7 year old breaks his leg trying to jump off a roof using an umbrella as a parachute

Men invented “boys will be boys” because “predators will be protected” was too honest.

Ghana is facing ECOCIDE
It is still free the citizens because the citizens of Ghana are not free from ILLEGAL MINING. Our President still has the corrupt DCE at post. Kidney cases are on the rise. Babies are still being born with deformities. Performative arrests not enough prosecutions. #StopGalamseyNow #BrownMonday
