Shma2023:
If you assume gravel = Paved, meaning, 68%+9% = 77% of entire road network in Ghana is paved. Then you can validity why Ghana ain't a developed country. RQI doesn't recognize Ghana -- FYI, Ghana is nowhere near top 20 in Road quality Index - Kenya is top 7.

If gravel is considered a tarred road in Ghana, then the road quality Index findings was spot on. Dance with brown Asphalt but don't let it elevate your ego. Know your lanes already.

56,000km of paved roads is more or less 55% of Ghana total road network of 109,515km.

Roads ain't the only measure of what a developed country is.

The is nothing like road quality in Kenya when all the roads there are unpaved and muddy.
Now go and build more roads to change the face of Kenya, it's too dusty. Kenya doesn't have to be behind Ghana in everything developmental. I want to see it develop

Shma2023:
Stop making uncoodinated argument. Be orderly and address the issue at hand like a man @ 40. Try to be sound and disillusion for a moment. You're sounding like a an adult buffoon.

Gravel is gravel - the other term for gravel is UNPAVED! There is nothing like gravel of Ghana. There is a thin line between Tar & bitumen, they are pretty much similar - don't be pazzled by terms. Ghana prefer bitumen more than Tar_ it doesn't dillute anything. In appearance, they are THE SAME!.The only difference is, Bitumen is distilled from cruide oil while Tar from coal and wood.

Earth roads are two compacted layers of ordinary soil. Pretty much like gravel except that gravel is compacted with tiny stones bought from stream beds or a nearby Quarry to reduce mud slippery.


We will talk about Kenya when you'll accept this fact. The fact that Ghana has 3k km of bitumen/ tarred road.

Another rant again
Simple question, are these photos of tarred roads or not? 😂🤣

Did you even read the comment you're responding to or should I enroll you in school?

The question is, when will Kenya catch up to Ghana's 56,000km of paved roads as reported in Ghana's road surface survey 2021? 😂🤣

Is the challenge too herculean for Kenya?

Shma2023:
Back to you, mad cow.

It seems like you don't know how to interpret data.

From your very own source, you only have 3K km _ 9% of bitumen road - highly viscous, black, sticky and dense. This is pavement we're talking about.

The same article you posted, says Ghana total unpaved road : gravel and part of Earth roads, makes 63% and 28%.

Let's debunk this before we elevate the discussion to your ministry.

You said Ghana has 58k km of total road network. Wrong! If the total gravel road network in Ghana is 63%, only 37% is left for contention.


What is Earth Road?

Earth road is a low- Cost road in which pavement is constructed with SOIL available at sight. They are mostly found in rural areas and they are not well maintained as paved roads. They may also be prone to washout and mud when it rains - as we had said before, Ghana is filled with brown Asphalt roads( untarred) . Imagine this specific road carries 28% of entire road in Ghana.

Let's check gravel road:

A gravel road are roads typically found in rural areas. They are not well maintained as paved road, but more stable than earth roads. They are rough to drive on and may cause more wear and tear on vehcles. They are generally made from crashed stones.

This leaves us with only 3k km. I will cut you some slack and assume your country considers Earth roads as paved.

you're just stupid or playing stupid
Go and read again and this time give it to a KG kid to do the comprehension for you. 😂🤣
Desperate child

In Ghana, Gravel road means Gravel with Coal Tar, when you see it you'll think it is Bitumen road. Three layers of Coal Tar and 2 layers of rock chippings for road construction.

Earth roads means dusty roads hence unpaved

Example of gravel roads in some villages in Ghana(does it look paved or not)
And a video of how it is done in the US and Australia.

What's your next excuse for why Kenya is less developed with only 18,000km of paved roads(Only 9,000km of highways) than Ghana with 56,000km of paved roads.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Lesser known sport

You not good at it but anyway no country is good at everything.... Ghana is soccer and boxing that's it... Even Thou as of recent results have been lackluster

Not necessarily not good at it

It is lesser known meaning there's no support for it hence not funded

AfriqueDuZuid:
Is there a reference to that? Anywhere written as proof or a video referencing that as proof of your claim?

Stop lying

it's not a lie

Take https://sportsevolution.home.blog/2019/11/14/lesser-known-sports-ghana/

AfriqueDuZuid:
Billions dollar sports fooling I bet to differ.

It's OK if you not good at it but dismissing it as foolish cos you don't understand it? Nah

We call it lesser sports here

Shma2023:
Because they can't compete, that's my point. Why are you slow?

Because we consider it a foolish sport that doesn't make sense

Shma2023:
I said I will counter this lie later. I will expose you to the public. Hold your breath already. Stop hyperventilating.

ENOUGH OF NONSENSE!

Now you're calling official reports lies ?

Desperate child, all because Kenya can't measure up to Ghana's standard ? 😂🤣

Boy, the amount of development projects that goes on here in a year, it takes your country almost 10 years to do same and you still think you can compete?

Or you think when we were congratulating our current president for doing massive works on roads, you think we were joking?


We can talk when Tiny Kenya manage to paved 56,000 kilometers of roads as Ghana.
Shut up and learn sense (grow up), stop arguing unnecessarily over facts

Shma2023:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Ghan has a total of 18k km of paved road. Don't fool anyone. We will discuss this later, not now. I will break it down for you, from your Road and transport ministry.


Sigh!

fool what ever makes you sleep at night knowing that Kenya will never be as developed as Ghana. Copium at best🤣😂

All of this is from my Road and transport Ministry departments that handle the 3 classes of roads.... Keep coping


Kenya needs to catch up

Shma2023:
That's why it's called Rally. Cars get destroyed and replacement is done ASAP! That shows how rich the event is. Choppers fly above the car for footage and control point _ You know how expensive that is.

Secondly, Sweden, Italy, Croatia, postural name them... Are all the hosts.. Why not Burundi or Tiny Ghana? Food for thought.

Thirdly, there is no world cup of WRC! You were talking about Rugby qualifications and conferences, which I gave the nitty gritty for eligibility to host.

It's not a sport in Ghana, we don't have an interest

gallivant:
You have dirt roads in Ghana as well, how come hobbitopia can't host it?

Did I say we didn't?

Ghana roads network surface condition survey 2021 report

Ghana total Highways Network -15,340 kilometers
Total paved - 14,094.3 kilometers

Ghana feeder roads network - 43,304 km (now 50, 775km)
Total paved - 30,983.6 kilometers

Ghana urban roads Network - 28,480km
Total paved - 11,057km

Ghana total paved Roads Network 56,134.9 kilometers


This is larger than Kenya's highway network of 9,000 km (all the monies you've borrowed, where did it go)

When will Kenya gets here ? Finally comprehensive proof of what I've been saying on Ghana roads network

AfriqueDuZuid:
Safary rally does not need any road infrastructure, teams comes with their medics, dirt roads are used,

Each and every country can host delegates.

Geographical politics is bit really a matter in most cases

😂🤣

True, no roads are needed because they race on dirt.

Shma2023:
Don't mind that fool. Lay your facts bare and leave. Don't even try to argue. That is IMF -their GODFATHER saying; an institution that has been making economic dialogs _ giving financial advice and at most monitoring their liquid expenditure.. Madcow is still debunking.


For starters.
Ghana's DEPT to GDP is 104%.
Ghana's GDP per capita is 1944 USD
Ghana's GDP as highlighted above $66B

Let him argue to he turns yellow. Facts will remain Facts.

See another fool. The IMF posted that when Ghana was deep in it crisis last year October or November. In December, Ghana posted a sharp recovery with a sharp GDP increase.

Even in the face of facts you're still posting nonsense.
How much is Ghana's debt ?

The IMF and Bank of Ghana just posted Ghana's debt at 434 billion cedis in their review and also reviewed Ghana's GDP to 873 billion cedis (95 billion dollars).
Ghana's GDP per Capita is 3,100 dollars (almost twice of kenya's 1800)

Facts below

Kenya runs to the IMF every 2 years like the IMF is your daddy to run to every time you guys mismanage your economy to the extend that IMF and WB own your country as 33% of your debt is to them.

How you wish Ghana was that backward as Kenya. Your incessant need to be at par with Ghana will keep making you exasperated. 😂🤣 Foolish boy

You like to yap yap things that only you believe because you're delusional. Ghana's debt currently is 93.5 % of GDP from 82 % last year. You keep borrowing to repay your debts resulting in a vicious cycle of hyperinflation and shocking currency depreciation that has left you at the mercy of the IMF's bailout program a record 17 times since 1966. Just recently in May the IMF gave you your 18th bailout ($3 b). Can you deny what I just said? That infor is freely available you just need a brain that is at minimum better than your president. I totally agree with you that Ruto is a fool but Kenya will never need bailouts from IMF.

I have never been delusional here and that does not mean I have to tell lies here.

Ghana's debt as at the end of May 2023 release of the bank of Ghana is 434 billion cedis which is less than 50% of GDP. It was 575 billion dollars in last year November which was 72% of GDP. Next time be factual

Kenya mismanagement has led it to the IMF 26 times (an absolute record) every 2 years. You guys have not exited your current IMF double bailout and you're already seeking another.

You don't even have the brains to know that Kenya is currently in an IMF program which was a double bailout in just one year because of how desperate your situation was. I've not seen something similar in any country.

As the kenyan shilling continue to crater, it creates more hardship for Kenyans as you guys don't have the buffer

More works left

Obiano13:
Ruto and his leadership is just pitifully moronic. There's nothing to show in almost one year except debts, debts, and more debts. And all this money is being stolen by him and his cronies. The average Kenyan's life has gotten worse in just 9 months compared to any time in history. I warned Kenyans that Ruto will be competing with Moi as the worst president Kenya ever had. But again Africans being Africans don't listen and learn.

That said, no matter how much Kenya borrows, even with leadership as incompetent as Ruto's with his pumpkin head, we will never be as chronically ill and indebted as Ghana. The black star is a special case that deserves its very own table at the Harvard Business school Econ lab.

Ghana is not chronically ill and indebted.

Ghana has done very well at keeping it debt low and manageable.

Ruto was supposed to reduce your borrowing inorder to bring your debt servicing cost under management. Today he is asking for a 15 years freeze on debt payment.

Kenya has a leadership crisis. Not even Nana Addo is as stupid as the past and current leaders of Kenya. As much as we blame him for our debt climbing sharply, it has always been under proper control. With our debt payment being extremely low.
It doesn't look like you guys have any sense of economics. Kenya crisis did not start today, it started 6 years ago and you e not resolved it yet

In just 9 months, he has borrowed more than 13% of your total debt. The IMF conditions are really bitting Kenyans and generally, Kenyans are a lot poorer than Ghanaians. Hence more vulnerable

Acadavah:
Ghana GDP 2023 is 66usd billion https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPD@WEO/GHA/CIV/EGY/ETH/KEN/NGA/ZAF/TZA

Ghana GDP 2023 is 870 billion cedis (95 billion dollars)
Total Debt 434 billion cedis ( less than 50% of GDP)
Debt servicing 3 billion dollars (15% of revenue)

Next joke

😉

Rvp come and remove your mouth


Your man is tanking your country worse than Sri Lanka

GeneralDae:
Yeah those are people like your Bright Simons in Ghana. There are many of them on Twitter.

oh I see

Are they effective as much?

I didn't know they existed, which civil society is he from?

GeneralDae:
I probably know the person 😄, he's a great business analyst though was Obidient.
He meant the speaker not Tinubu.

I didn't take note of the person cause I was just flipping through my timeline to catch up 😂🤣

You guys are wild ... Keep up the good work to keep them on their toes.
Put the fear of God in them

GeneralDae:
The person must have mistaken the appointment of 32 aides by the Speaker of the House to mean Tinubu's appointments.

Of course I am against the speaker having 32 aides.

Yeah.. that was what the person was talking about.

32 is too many but parliamentary work can be a lot difficult (too many paper work)

Thanks for the correction

Shaytun:
35?

Where did you see that, he only appointed 7.

Someone pass it out on my timeline comparing it to USA 3.

But my actual comment was about he being against it or not.

Shaytun:
Did you hear the news of the head of GAVI Alliance resigning to be our New Minister of Health?

I wonder how Tinubu was able to convince him to leave such a lucrative job.

It's not always about the money, people do it all the time for public good.

GeneralDae:
He's only released 8 special advisers not 35 as far as I know.

someone posted 35 on my timeline and I don't know how true that was.

My real question was, seem you're against it.

GeneralDae:
If he can find ways to make palliatives far reaching and effective (which is a difficult thing to do), and then release a ministerial list of at least 90% technocrats (just like his list of special advisers), he would have cemented his first 100 days in gold.

You're speaking like you're against his 35 special advisors list

Mkenya2019:
There was nothing like that. Take you meds madman.

You need to be checked in

You're mad

Shma2023:
Take your humble pie. Ghana impresses no one. Ghana's GDP per capita from an increased population with depreciated GDP can't be anywhere close to $2,000.

Let's try it out.

$70B ÷ 36M

You'll get something close to 1,944 USD.

It's called a projection for a reason
I'm sure English is strange to you.

Fortunately, there's official data from the bank of Ghana to deal with and not projection

Shma2023:
I see you're back to your delinquency state. Don't dig figures from your @nus. Don't be desperate.

You're mad
Typical Kenyan nonsense
Official central bank data

Ghana's current GDP per Capita is 3,100 ... I wish Kenya can rise from it 1,800 dollars

Soon you'll start complaining that it is from minerals so we should subtract it 😂🤣

Shma2023:
Nothing to see in Ghana as far as infrastructure is something to go by.

Infrastructural development is seen. Eye test will see you behind doors. Ghana doesn't come anywhere close to Kenya, TZ, Nigeria... In that regard! We have seen it through pictorial test. Electricity, maybe you can have a say.

Yet Ghana is above your country in every infrastructure.

Yes infrastructure development is seen hence Ghana extensive infrastructure from water supply to roads to health to education to electricity.

Even looking at Kenya and Ghana by satellite is like night and day.
