Akufo - Addo Government Must Arrest The “Gruesome Road Deaths Going On”

Various governments know why people are dying from road accidents but have refused to listen to the plight of Ghanaians.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) appealed to government on November, 2017 and indicated that government must consider the dualization of all major highways.

There is no doubt that, HEAD-ON COLLISSION remains the major form of road accidents and accounts for over 90% of road accidents fatalities in Ghana.

In an article I wrote last week, titled GHANA, A COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE DIE LIKE ANIMALS DAILY ON ITS ROADS, A REAL SHITHOLE COUNTRY!

I made this point:Dual-carriage on our major highways in Ghana. Major highways linking all the regional capitals must be constructed dual carriage. This will curb the constant head-on collision which has been the order of the day.https://www.modernghana.com/news/834478/ghana-a-country-where-people-die-like-animals-daily-on-its.html

I was fortunate, after my article, the President of Musiga, Ghana, Bice Osei Kuffour phoned me and encouraged me to step up the fire, and “as a road ambassador himself, promised to add his support to dualisation of our major roads”.

Bice Osei Kuffour today, made this appeal when he went one-week ceremony of the gruesome death of Ebony Reigns and two others on our roads. He has hinted of a petition to the President https://web.facebook.com/yencomgh/posts/1888446231445944?_rdc=1&_rdr

However, on major social media platforms, NPP aligned sycophants insulted me for offering such ideas. It seems, those sycophants may not have lost any relative on our roads, or thinks, they are immune from “road accidents!

The fact is, if a small vehicle over-takes, and enters the lane of a long-vehicle, “all the passengers are finished”. The long vehicle cant apply breaks “instantly, even if there is danger of veering into the smaller car in a head-on-collision” . WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GHANA, IS LIKE THE BIBLICAL TIMES OF MOSSES, WHERE THE BIGGER SNAKES SWALLOWED THE SMALLER SNAILS: http://biblehub.com/exodus/7-10.htm

THE HEAVY DUTY LONG VEHICLES ARE SWALLOWING THE SMALL VEHICLES WITH THE PASSENGERS, IN EFFECT, THE LONG HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES ARE SWALLOWING THE PEOPLE OF GHANA.

MR. PRESIDENT, FANTASTIC FREE SHS MAN! PLEASE, SAVE GHANAINS FROM THESE GRUESOME DEATHS BY EMBARKING ON DUAL CARRIAGE THROUGH OUR REGIONAL HIGHWAYS. THIS WILL REDUCE ROAD ACCIDENT BY OVER 80%. GHANA MUST NOT SIT UNCONCERN TO LOOSE ALL ITS ENERGETIC WORK-FORCE THROUGH ROAD ACCIDENTS.

SAVE US FROM THESE DEATHS, MR. PRESIDENT.
