Hi Nana,
Very interesting piece; but my first reactions were of exasperation and frustration.

Exasperated/frustrated because Ghanaians in Ghana, and in positions of authority could probably give you a Ph.D thesis on the “plans” and “strategies” they have with the relevant “stakeholders”. Where did you say this was being practised? Saskawhere? Ok, me and 20 cronies will fly out to this place and see for ourselves….

Upon return, I’ll just dump the wrappings of my new purchases from “outside” over the wall or burn them.

It is possible here in Ghana, but only when an active citizenry keeps officials accountable. Let me tell you, when individuals try to do it alone, it’s near impossible! Mobilizing people here to assert their collective rights is the challenge.
