Chenku Waterfalls, Dodowa

This is the Chenku Waterfalls located in the Dodowa Forest in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region. It is a 3km walk from the main Dodowa Market road to the Chenku Waterfalls. This is a very nice tourist attraction site. The Shai Osudoku District Assembly should help the private owner to do more to make the place more attractive. There is only one directional sign just at the junction on the market road. More directional signs should be erected leading to the place. Also, the owner of the place must train the guides who manage the place. When you get there, they take ¢10gh from you without issuing a receipt. There should also be a shop there where visitors can buy water or some refreshments, enough benches for visitors to sit on and relax and enjoy the beautiful scene. There are a lot of tourist attractions that need to be developed in our various communities. #EcoTourism

Clean Air For All In 2024

We all entered 2023 with so much hope, determination and strength, but we forgot to ensure that the air that we breath was of good quality and clean. We were inundated with a lot of respiratory related illnesses which could be attributed to the poor air quality in most of our communities due to our actions and inactions on the environment. Another year is here with us. 2024 looks very promising and we are determined to do whatever it takes to improve the air quality in our various communities.

Are we ready and willing to stop the burning of rubbish?

What are we going to do in 2024 to ensure that more education on the importance of clean air is propagated in our communities?

As we champion the cause for clean and quality air, are our children and the young ones also being taken along on this journey?

How do we ensure that those who pollute the air are sanctioned and made to do the right thing?

What can we do to ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency do their work well?

As we start the year 2024, let us all make it our duty and responsibility to ensure that the air in our communities is clean and of good quality.

#FixtheDodowaAfienyaRoadNow

The ancient town of Dodowa is a very unique town with so many economic potentials that can be used to generate a lot of jobs for the youth in that area. Dodowa falls under the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region. There are a lot of fruit and vegetable farmers in and around Dodowa, and it is a delight to buy fresh farm produce on Dodowa market days, Mondays and Thursdays. But there are several things lacking in this ancient town. One of them are banks and other financial institutions. One has to travel to Somanya or Madina before he or she can get access to any financial institution. This has become a major issue for the people of Dodowa and workers who are posted to the town. One other problem is the deplorable nature of the #DodowaAfienyaRoad which has become an albatross around the necks of successive governments. They all come with a promise to fix the road, they mount billboards to indicate that they have awarded the road to a contractor to work on but we don’t see any thing being done. This road links Dodowa to Afienya, Tema and Ashaiman. Due to the deplorable nature of the road, commercial vehicles sometimes refuse to ply the road, and the fare is just too much. I will like to call on the government to fix the road since when this is done, the area will open up with a lot of economic activities springing up, and these in turn will create employment avenues for the youth in the area. I will therefore plead with the Member of Parliament for the Shai Osudoku Constituency, the Shai Osudoku MCE, the Minister of Roads and Highways to quickly fix the road.

The Ghana Police Service: The Resurrection

Every country in the world has laws governing its people and foreigners. The institutions work to ensure that the laws are applied equally without fear or favor irrespective of anyone who flouts these laws. The rich and the poor are treated the same way anytime these laws are flouted. The law enforcement agencies also do their best to be on top of their game, and apply the laws of the land where and when necessary. In most of these countries, the laws does not wear political colors, likewise crime. Whether you are a top government official or an unknown civil servant, when you go against the law, you are dealt with according to the laid down procedure and justice is served equitably. Ghana is no exception when it comes to the application and enforcement of laws. The Ghana Police Service has seen its image dented for a long time with so many infractions on the part of their officers. But the Service is carving a new image for itself currently. Ever since the appointment of the new Inspector General of Police, Dr. Akuffo Dampare, last year, 2021, there has been a resurrection of professionalism in the Ghana Police Service. This has s to do with leadership. The new IGP has brought in a breath of fresh air into the Ghana Police Service. His men are also following his example by interacting with motorists, pedestrians and sections of civil society and other identifiable groups. This has endeared him to many Ghanaians, who have vowed to support the Ghana Police Service to maintain law and order in the country. It is my hope and prayer that this resurrection will last forever and not another Frankenstein waiting to happen. Let us all support the Ghana Police Service to live by their motto “Service with integrity.”
