Our local parlance of "Africa time" has been with the Ghanaian from time immemorial and for a very long time most Ghanians and for that matter some Africans have lived with it, it has become "normal" with us as we don't see anything wrong with it.
Our top officials late attendance
to a programmes of national importance received a backlash blasting from the
Korean Ambassador and a team of Korean engineers at a workshop in Accra .
Lyeo Woon-Ki, the Ambassador, criticised the conduct of the officials of the Ministry of Transport after waiting for almost one hour at a workshop to solicit the inputs of stakeholders for a Master Plan project for Accra, in which the Korean government had provided a $1.5 million funding with technical expertise.The project seeks to address the traffic congestion in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area by 2035. The Minister of Transport was expected to attend, but he sent a representative who arrived 43 minutes late.
The programme, was scheduled to begin at 9am and the Korean delegation had to wait until after 43 minutes when Mr. A. Selby and Mr. Lawrence Kumi, Chief Director and Director in charge of Research and Statistics respectively, of the Ministry of Transport, arrived, offering an apology for their lateness.
