NDC Member of Parliament [MP] for Juaboso Constituency in the Western Region, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has emphatically stated that most of the issues discussed in parliament will serve this nation more than good if accurately enforced.
According to him “making new laws for organizations as and when they are faced with unforeseen occurrences will not be a perfect movement to solve the particular problem at hand."
The existing laws if perfectly enforced and implemented will make us more than 70% free from several calamities facing our state, especially ones that take lives and make individuals lose their properties”.
Making reference to conclusions made out of the cabinet meeting held with respect to the Atomic Junction gas explosion, Hon. Akandoh noted that new laws will continue to be made when we do not find ways to educate citizens and make public the existing ones.
According to him Parliament always make laws but just 10% of what goes on in the house is known by citizens leaving them shallow on almost all the laws made on their behalf.
“What we must bear in mind is that we can make millions of laws but it will be of no importance when somebody is not checked to put a stop to his/her negligence . . .”, he said.
He suggested that all LPG filling stations should be moved out of the cities and sited at particular places far from homes to make the supervision of National Petroleum Authority [NPA], Environmental Protection Authority [EPA] and the other regulatory bodies easier and as well keep persons safe.

And what is wrong with that? What are parlimentarians there for?
I think our ministries, departments and agencies, more especially the assemblies are to be blamed. The laws are already there, what we need is the enforcement of same. Look at the how out of roads vehicles are parked on our roads. Who has to get rid of them? The assemblies have to come out with a plan about how to rid our roads of these vehicles. I think they can give a year's grace for the removal of the vehicles, also sending personnel to place stickers on them. failure to remove them after the grace period come with a fine plus any other charges incurred by the assembly.
NDC always satisfied with mediocrity! Akandoh, aim at 100%, not 70.
Aaah aaah Akandoh, have you now put your thinking cap on? You were always defending every silly or ***barred word*** and baseless policies your NDC put out and forced it into our throats, you were praising Mahama as if he never even 'farted' in his life. Now you are out of government because Ghanainas realised your lies and voted you out, now you find everything Nana Addo does is wrong, what is wrong with you? You are still wiping the sweat from your face after your party lost miserably but your turn to give Nana Addo advice on what your NDC failed to do due to your selfish attitude. If your government had put out such policies earlier we would not have lost so many people to these gas killings.
