THE GHANAIAN TAXPAYER IS ONLY WASTING MONEY

Common sense is dying. The government of Ghana is wasting its time ensuring clean and healthy sanitation. Ignorance to the law they say is not an excuse but is it the fault of the people when the laws of the land are not communicated to them? The law they say is above common sense but most often we expect the people to use their common sense in addressing issues. So which is which, common sense or the knowledge of the law. It is against the law for anyone to drop or throw any waste material around. But, the question is, when has the National commission for Civic Education ever taken that bold step to announce to the people that it is against the law to throw waste materials about. And that it goes a long way to affect us all. Is it not their responsibility? Whose is it if I should ask. And if those responsible have already taken that step was it continual, or it got to point and they stopped? Why would they stop if I should presume they started. Oh Ghana, what are our priorities? Do we not prioritize clean sanitation higher than the construction of roads? If not then I beg to say that Ghana is not a serious country. Who is Ghana? We are Ghana. So it simply means that we are all not serious. But, the quantum of un-seriousness hugely falls on the government more. We are just wasting the resources of the innocent land. Most often we expect the people to use their common sense in such issues yet the law they say is above common sense. Today, people still drop waste materials anyhow and anywhere. And if anyone thinks that people are still using their common sense or people'll use their common sense then I should be quick to inform those people that common sense is dying. The government spent millions of our currency just to ensure clean sanitation alone when it could address the people morally through the media and other sources. Or have we forgotten the traditional power of the media? What a wasteful government we have. Until the government change it approach the people will continue to live by their attitude. There is no such thing as free lunch and the government ought to make it clear to the people. The more we continue to mess up our environment with waste materials, the more the governments spends. And main onus lies on the government to see to it, how and when they need to address the moral concerns of the people. We also talk of clean sanitation but very little is done to ensure a dirt free sanitation. Man is such that when the moral conscience is addressed he tends to show some level of concern. And until the government, on whose feet we all rest take up the initiative to appeal to the people moral conscience, we as a country should forget about a dirt-engulfed free sanitation. God bless the youth first and Ghana second.
