Tarzan: Ghanaians were ‘poopooing’ indiscriminately

The Chief Executive officer of the defunct Ghana@50 Secretariat, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby says toilet projects embarked upon as part of activities to mark Ghana’s golden jubilee celebrations were to help stop people from attending to nature’s call indiscriminately.

“Ghanaians were living like animals after 50 years of independence,” he noted.

According to him, the country could not afford to continue displaying such behaviours since a lot of foreigners had been invited to grace the celebrations.

He said this in his submissions to the Ghana@50 commission of enquiry Tuesday.

As part of the projects to commemorate the occasion, a number of public toilets were to be built across the country. However two years after the celebrations, only one public toilet has been built, a situation that has contributed to growing public criticisms that the Ghana@50 celebration was a failure.

Dr Wereko-Brobby during his appearance before the commission on Tuesday, was emphatic that contrary to the popular opinion that the celebrations were a failure, they were very successful and highly profitable.

“The Ghana@50 celebrations were a roaring success,” he stressed, and explained that the Ghana at 50 celebrations and the AU Summit made a profit of about GHc36 million.
