Its
been a few days since i wrote anything worthwhile here! It not been for
want of what to write but rather for what not to write about. The
clatter of issues included Lady Margaret "Iron Lady" Thatcher, The
Kolege SHS Confusion, The Series of Strikes on-ongoing and looming, etc
etc etc.
Alas, as I drove(sped) down the motorway, in my old
toyota, I had no choice but to have my windows rolled down and then the
wind spoke! The faster i drove the louder and angrier she seemed. I
wondered for a while what exactly she meant until i saw the faded sign
post marking the sight for the Accra regional hospital.
It dawned on me, She must be upset with buildings! Oh yes buildings
they seem to be coming up fast and furious along the motorway. She said,
there are no trees on the motorway, meaning no wind breaks. Why are
they depleting the security belt along this road as well? Do they want
their roofs ripped of and flying across this road when there is a storm?
Do they want a vehicle that runs of the road to run into their homes?
In all of this, what is Ghana waiting for to build the long over due
Accra Hospital? Is Ghana waiting till the land is encroached upon
before they demolish buildings and waste the development budget on
paying compensations? Can't they at least wall of the property to define
the space?
Speaking of security belts, how far off the
fringes of this road will the hospital be? Hospital often means sick
slow, mostly mobility impaired people, isn't the motorway a threat to
their safety?
The rest of what she said I better save for another day!
With all my love
A messenger of the wind
