A political scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Zaato, has questioned the government’s decision to deploy military engineers to Jamaica while several devastated communities in Ghana remain unrepaired. Speaking on the AM Show, Dr Zaato said the country has unresolved infrastructure challenges that could benefit from the expertise of the 48th, 49th and 50th Engineer Regiments currently being sent to support Jamaica’s reconstruction efforts after Hurricane Melissa. “We have so many areas in Ghana that still need rebuilding,” he said. “Have we finished fixing the Volta Region after the tidal wave destruction? There are deprived communities across the country that could make good use of the expertise of these engineering regiments.”
