Hassan Ayariga, founder, and leader of the All People’s Congress (APC) says he wants to know how much money went into the celebration of last year’s independence day celebration, Ghana at 60.
In a statement he released to mark our 61st Independence anniversary as a country, he called on the government to be more serious about the fight against corruption.
“The elaborate celebration of our independence is meaningless unless we can show that we are dedicated to wiping corruption and investing public funds in the country’s development.”, he wrote.
“Today as we celebrate Ghana @61, we are yet to tell how much was spent on Ghana@60! What have we achieved during the Ghana @60 plan?”
Comparisons
He proceeded to compare Ghana to some other countries:
“Since 1992 we have travailed to return to those fledgling days of an immediate post-independence era. We cannot compare to Malaysia who learned palm production from us. Today we need to find out what is the state of our industries. The Twifo Oil Palm Plantation (TOPP) cannot provide palm oil for the whole country. Neither is the Ghana Oil Palm Development Company (GOPDC) able to expand its operations effectively.
“Our railways have deteriorated while we struggle to develop new lines. Nowadays there is no rail line linking Accra through Koforidua to Kumasi. Just imagine the impact of such a rail line on road accidents on the Accra Kumasi stretch alone. It will massively reduce because most cargoes will use trains which are safer. Even in our capital, we can only boast of Accra-Nsawam and recently Accra-Tema lines”. He wrote.
On sanitation, he picked Rwanda as the country of comparison:
“Today Rwanda which went through the most heinous of civil wars has transformed fast into a beacon of hope. Kigali is the cleanest City now in Africa while Accra represents filth. We all know the impact on our health. And talking of health we are proud to build ultra-modern hospitals and abandon them. Sound investment”, he concluded.

FULL OF CRAPTOLOGY. Another hen's brain. Little-minded Hassan Ayariga ma yen ho nto yen wai
Haaaaaaaaa!
The guy is telling the truth and you are insulting him. What has his tribe got to do with this intellect? He is ok, but those who are insulting him are suffering. They cannot even get 3 score meals a day
@ U KNOW, Your comment is so uncalled for. You can be civil in your comment, you'll make better impact. So long!
look at this clown too smh
akans for that matter the npp have ssshithole mentality..only insults upon insults .nobody has any right to hold any contrary views to theirs
This guy reminds of Ajos the comedian. He should stop embarrassing himself and join the great people of Ghana to celebrate 61 years of independence. That will be more beneficial to him and his tribesmen. AFter 8 years of NDC rule, he was given a lot of money to play the clown to the detriment of development in his village.
Ayaricof, we know the problems in the country already, it would have been prudent if you had come with solutions rather than telling Ghanaians of what we all know already. kindly think twice before coming out next time.
