Some Netizens Reactions

Elvis Yorm: A lot has been spent already. If you come to Ho and see what is going on, you’ll be very angry. Lump sum of money is being pumped into e construction of a youth resource Centre in some isolated place just for the Indpdnc. Day celeb. whilst the Jubilee Park is there 1/3

Elvis Yorm: 2/3 meanwhile that money could have been used to upgrade the Ho Sport Stadium into a befitting one. Again, for some days now, all hotels in town are full to capacity cos they’ve been occupied by the police, military and other security service workers.

Dennis: You have a point. But don’t also forget that it creates a lot of employment. Don’t base your argument on the money that the government uses to organize the program. But you have to also think about the Pure water seller and Fanice Yogourt seller among others.
