When I speak for Ghana, I speak for Africa. Corruption is endemic in African politics because of a colonial mentality. Only when these inherited attitudes are overturned will Ghana quit running in circles and move into her future. The neo-colonialists must be voted out, for all they care about is their own stomachs. In this book you'll find coverage of political and social subjects that make this sad fact very clear. Ghana is ready for leaders who identify with the people and envision progressive ideas that move us into the continent's glorious future. We look in these pages at that future and the kind of leader Ghana needs. We look to the year 2020 and our goal of self-reliance. When we Ghanaians go to the polls in 2008, we can oust the old leaders and bring into office younger candidates with fresh ideas. Then we will move into developing our treasures, and the day will not be long off when Ghana will no longer require financial assistance from other parts of the world.

'Ghana: Conversation & Development' is a book about the cry, frustrations, and aspirations of the good people of Ghana. It nourishes, refreshes and equips the political and economic mindsets of the Ghanaian people and attempts to serve as a channel of communication to the new President and his administration after December 2008 General Elections. Many issues have been discussed including social, political and economic issues. This book critically analyses how Ghana, our motherland would be able to meet her millennium objectives at the shortest possible time. Road accidents in the country seem to spiral out of control, it is very pathetic how hundreds of Ghanaians lost their love ones because of road accidents especially during Easter and Christmas seasons. Time is now due to stop people even policy makers taken advantage of funerals just to show off their wealth. This little book also provides solid recommendations on how this 'canker', which is slowly, but far eating into our fabrics will be solved once and for all. Can Ghana achieve any meaningful economic growth without the contributions of our well-cherished traditional rulers? Can the Ghana oil of commercial quantity find at the Cape Three Points in the Western Region be a blessing or a curse? The book* is not just a must read, it is entirely pleasurable and the commentaries are well written. It contains great human insight interwoven into the twists and turns of the dreams of the loving people of Ghana. I deemed this necessary believing that the new President and his administration, our traditional rulers, policy makers, schools, colleges and students in higher academic learning would make optimum use of it. Read the materials thoroughly, think carefully, dig deeper, make the necessary sacrifices, adopt some wisdom and make yourself and Ghana very proud. PK OPOKU BONNA, LLB.

More than 1.2 million people die in road traffic crashes every year As many as 50 million people are injured or disabled by road traffic crashes every year Road traffic crashes cost countries up to 4% of their Gross National Product Correctly used seat-belts reduce the risk of death in a crash by 61% Mandatory use of child restraints can reduce child deaths by 35% Helmets reduce fatal and serious head injuries by up to 45% Enforcing a drinking and driving law around the world could reduce alcohol-related crashes by 20% (WHO, 2005). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Africa has the world's highest rate of road fatalities per capita. For example, the statistics indicate that 2,043 people perished in road accidents in 2007 in Ghana alone compared to 1,858 people who died in 2006. Many factors contribute to road accidents in Africa. The notable ones include bribery and corruption. "While the focus of this book is Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, for obvious reasons, nonetheless, Stopping the Carnage on African Roads is unmistakably germane to the totality of the dismal traffic situation in Africa at large. In this sense, the expansive title of the book is all the more appropriate. In sum, on the critical subject of preventable road carnage in Africa, Mr. Bonna is one, among a dispiritingly low number of writers and intellectuals, who knows exactly what he is talking about. In essence, the author's argument revolves around the salutary, commonsensical and imperative need for postcolonial African governments to ensure that the auspicious facility of vehicular transportation is safely and productively engaged. The latter observation, of course, implies the stringent andimpartial enforcement of transit laws and penalties." (Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Ph.D., Bronx, New York).
