Editorial
This Polarisation Is dangerous!
GHANA SEEMS dangerously
polarized, divided along a
government/opposition lines; an
NPP/NDC dichotomy, in fact. We
are fortunate that the lines of
division along ethnicity are not as
defined as those of partisan politics
yet. If we had such marked tribal
divisions as some African
countries, unfortunately have, we
would be sitting on a huge time
bomb. Suffice it to say,
nonetheless, that the polarization
along party lines is so serious that
it must be examined and reversed
as soon as possible.

After Fathia, Will Ghana Learn?
THE DEATH of Mrs. Fathia Nkrumah
took many Ghanaians unawares,
neither because it was sudden nor
that she died at the prime of her
age. The surprise was as a result
of the fact that, as a nation, we
had quite forgotten the first First
Lady was still alive before she
gave up the ghost. Yesterday, the
mortal remains of the 75-year-old
woman were laid to rest near her
husband here in Accra, according
to her wish.

In Pursuit of a Decent Civil Service
THE CIVIL Service, which consists of
the government departments
responsible for putting Central
Government’s plans into action, is a
very critical facet of every civilized
society. Its continuous unalloyed
service is so crucial that the Civil
Service in most countries, including
Great Britain, is insulated from the
vagaries of partisan politics.

Gov’t Must Explain This Shoddy Roadwork
WE PREDICTED in one of our
editorials last year that the way the
Ofankor to Nsawam road was being
re-constructed, it was bound to last
only a few years. That was after
columnist Nana Addo had given a
similar warning in his 'Views From
Outside the City. And just under one
year, substantial parts of the road
have so deteriorated that they hav'e
called for rehabilitation.

Time For Ghana To Speak On Climate Change
To put it bluntly, the reckless
obsession and thrust of political
issues daily on the national agenda
by the media, politicians, civil society
organisations and other national
players must give way for more
healthy discourses that hinge directly
on our survival as people.

Protect Our Roads to Protect Us
THE GHANA Highway Authority,
Department of Urban Roads, the
Ministry of Road Transport itself, or
whose ever duty it is, should swiftly
act to get the central reservation or
median strip (American) on the
Accra-Cape Coast and the Accra-
Nsawam roads fenced with barbed or
razor wire. Indeed, it is advised that
all central reservations on our
streets, roads and highways should
be fenced to ward off the millions of
trespassers who walk or run on them
daily.

These Rampant Unannounced Power Outages
IT IS high time the Electricity
Company of Ghana came out boldly
to tell us they have reviewed the
power rationing roster to worsen our
plight, if that very apparent situation
is the reality. That would be painful
but, after complaining for a few
hours, the long-suffering Ghanaian
would accept it as a matter of no
alternative.
