The 2010 Best Actress for African Movie Academy Award, Lydia Forson has replied the comment made by the president of Ghana concerning him not being ready to fix the unfortunate flood situation in Accra with taxpayers’ contributions if Ghanaians don’t stop littering.
She said on Twitter labeling Ghanaians as dirty is unfortunate and insensitive from the president considering the timing of the utterance.
She further asked the managers of the country led by President Akufo-Addo to fix their attitudes and the system from the top: and with that, they can punish people at the bottom who disregard directives in the country.
“It’s only privileged people who don’t have to shit in KVIP that think if there’s a water closet people won’t use. Fix the system, and you can punish people for dumping refuse in gutters. But don’t talk to us like we’re some animals with no sense.”
“As usual, blaming citizens for not doing your jobs!! For years in my area there we had to would pile rubbish for several weeks and hope those little trucks will show up. You can only BOLDLY punish people when you’ve provided them with places to dump rubbish.”
