Ghana is best with having everything natural gift from God. Not only do we have the Sea in the South, Mountains in the East, Lakes, Savannah, tropical rainforest etc. Ghana is also the only country in the whole wide world with a manmade lake. However we seem to have a short-term vision for these gifts.
Comparing the communications link across the River Volta and The River Thames, Ghana would have equally have Tower Bridge, Accra Bridge and others land mark to capitalise on the advantages these bridges bring to a community. I hope The Government is considering a replica of the Tower Bridge in London in Ghana because if Kwame Nkrumah were to be our current leader he would pursue this. Why can't we have it and display our cultural heritage there too. Ghana is not a second class country or are we?
Ghanaians would not have had to travel to greener pastures if subsequent Government have planned strategically meaning 20 years planning rather get rich quick and spend the money in a foreign land or building many mansions.
What Politicians fail to understand is that it is better to invest in community development in every town and village, if one wants to sit and relax and enjoy life than to loot the pot and just offer token development here and there. Some members of the general public have experienced a total transformation of Ghana. Hence their expectations are higher than the politicans who have not even travelled around Ghana to see the opportunities Ghana have to offer to the world let alone travelled the world.

Sooner or later these token development exposes the Government through lack of a uniformed governance.

Many people using of KIVP may think it is primitive forgetting that people in the countryside of Sweden, France, and other are currently using this system as the most environmentally friendily way of waste disposal.
Ghana has got everything any country would wish and dream for, despite of these we appear to live in poverty and we are blended as a poor nation. Could it be the leaders we have don't have that leadership qualifies? Or could it have due to lack of vision? God would not forgive those leaders who have pretending to be concerned about the vulnerable in our society whilst feathering their own nest.

We need bridges not only to facilities effective communication throughout our villages but also transport essential foodstuffs to our towns and cities. To date Ghana still have logs being used as briodges in our remote villages. This is modern celebrating Ghana @50 with great success and the President also reward himself of achievement ?
