Former President John Mahama has said he does not understand what the Sanitation Minister, Mrs Cecilia Abena Dapaah, is doing in that “useless” ministry.
According to Mr Mahama, “If the President had taken it [Sanitation Ministry] as one of his promises, then he has failed very badly, especially for the fact that you have a sanitation minister, you cannot understand what the sanitation minister is doing.”
The flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) indicated in a Facebook Live transmission on Monday, 23 December 2019 that he would scrap the Sanitation Ministry should he win the 2020 elections.
“We will move the sanitation ministry back to Local Government”, Mr Mahama said, adding: “I think it is one of the most useless ministries”.
“It hasn’t proven itself, it has not achieved anything in the last three years, so, we will move it back to the Local Government Ministry. We will put a deputy minister there who we will empower to make sure that the district assemblies are doing the right thing, and that they are surcharging people who keep their compound dirty or who do not keep their surroundings clean.”
He said owing to the uselessness of that ministry, the national capital, Accra, has become the “dirtiest” city in West Africa.
“Accra has become the dirtiest city, I think, in the whole of West Africa,” Mr Mahama told journalists and Ghanaians in a live Facebook address on Tuesday, 24 December 2019.
In Mr Mahama’s view, Abuja and Abidjan, the capital cities of Nigeria and The Ivory Coast, “look cleaner than Accra”.

I can feel the heat signifying many of you on this panel are hurt and full of hatred due to the former president's sarcasm. But that is politics for you. When NPP leaders and followers insult the former president with all sorts of words (I will not like to repeat), you people always felt it was okay but when the shoe is now on the other foot you are all hurt. Etua wo yonko ho aa, etua dua ho
Very pathetic the this man was once a president of Ghana, talk rub bish without offering solutions, how did you leave sanitation situation in Ghana, even TRAMOL infused mind will not speak like this
mahama let me school small or you still think Ghanaians still have short memories.. on the 11/07/14 AfricaBusiness reported Accra to be the dirtiest city in Africa and pulseGhana also predicted Ghana to be the dirtiest city in Africa in the year 2016...who was the president of Ghana?? was it you or ma mum??
What did he do to curb the sanitation problem in Accra when he was president When did he realize that Abidjan and Abudja are cleaner than Accra
No wonder they say,every new day comes with something new but this time, it is a highly rubbish one from the king of incompetence himself. His people should advice him on comments he makes for the public domain. They are, not, not, not, not at all.
If Mahama has nothing to offer Ghanaian he should keep his mouth shut. We are fed up with his utterances
I think the only Ghanaian that I know who think Mahama can't put 1+1 together is the very person who is so daft to the extent that he cannot even understand his own comment. Stupiiiiiiiiiiiiid ***barred word*** Iii Armah.
He paid some of his ministers double salary. Fine, but we all know this government should retrieved all those monies. Not so? You sack your security man for allowing someone you know to have stolen something valuable from your house. You bring someone who promises to catch the their. Nothing happens. The their is seen walking freely in the community and all you do is to shout "hey their". Yet you are still paying the new security man. Prosecute them and take your money back! Simple.
Ex-president mahama i pity you so much.why?because Ghanaians are aware that you can not put 1+1 together create a vision, you calling sanitation ministry ***barred word***. God have mercy on you.You can't win any election again.
Incompetent John Ford... keep dreaming. You paid some of your ministers double salary. Greedy man get lost.
