How Ghana’s Entrepreneurs Could Reshape Infrastructure and Break the Flooding Cycle

Adrian: And it just seems to be going on in cycles, to be honest. If it's not done so, it's flooding. it's not flooding, it's gallimsey. If it's not gallimsey, it's a debate in the leadership. We seem to be in this vicious cycle that we can't get ourselves out of. And I think the time has come and the technology has come for entrepreneurs and startups and for the people to take power into their own hands and tackle some of these challenges. I think it's... insufficient to rely on the public sector to solve all of these problems. There's a lot of movement in part to the public sector as you all know and it's time that the private sector including ourselves rise up and take control of these topics for the sake of our own nation. right so right let's continue on so I mean when you think about all of these things it's not looking good right now for Ghana. On the other hand, know, you've got flooding risks, are spiking as well. You have a lot of risks at the moment. So over 2000 buildings now encroach Volta basin waterways. And this is after the 2023 disaster. Now the Volta Volta region authority warns it's disaster waiting, limiting water management. In addition, galamsey continues to poison rivers with mercury levels far beyond what the World Health Organisation is limiting. So these all seem like attacks on Ghana's infrastructure and economy. Leadership debates certainly have not helped at all. But really how I see it is when you look at the Bible, the Bible says the kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. So if we are going to debate talk about all of these different topics and, you know, take different sides and stuff. we aren't never gonna see the progress that we want Ghana to make like we've seen of other African nations. So it's time for us to come together rather than to be divided and take different sides in all these different types of areas. That's what we need to do at the moment.
