ARE CONTRACTORS WHO BUILD EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES MONITORED

My school was in hysteric joy when the headmaster announced that a six unit classroom block was to be built to augment the few facilities in the school to cope with the current number of students in the school. I personally was beside my self with joy not because of this particular piece of information but another that it will be completed by November that year (2010). Now as I painfully put up this piece the said classroom block is still under construction.

What kind of ineffieciency is this? Does the government know that this building is not yet completed? If yes what is that they are doing about cases of this nature? Go around most secondary schools these days and you will find out that such is the case.

Another issue of wonder is the shoddy work most of these politicians demonstrate. Eventhough the building has not yet being handed over, there are deadly cracks on the walls and the roofing is almost coming off. If this instance was peculiar to Nandom Senior High School this piece would have been out of place. But it is the same story nationwide. Yet nothing is done about this phenomenon. Sometimes the schoold authorities also keep quiet as if a fishy kind of thing is going on.

The government of the day must rise to the occasion to arrest this observation. It is wasting my fathers tax and your mother's tax as well as your friend's cousin's tax.
