In Ghana, countless communities face a glaring absence of essential services. Markets, often prone to fire outbreaks, operate without nearby fire stations, leaving livelihoods and lives at constant risk. Entire neighborhoods lack police presence, creating an environment of insecurity and vulnerability. A classic example is what has just happened to the people of Kantamanto. The whole market has been burnt down.
Yet, in a puzzling twist of priorities, some individuals enjoy the privilege of having as many as 20 police officers and soldiers dedicated to their personal protection. This stark imbalance raises critical questions: Are our leaders truly addressing the needs of the people, or are we trapped in a cycle of misplaced priorities and inefficiency?
With fire outbreaks becoming increasingly common and security concerns mounting, it’s time to demand accountability and a governance system that prioritizes the safety and welfare of all citizens. Ghana deserves better.
