Social critic and change advocate Ralph St Williams has made a clarion call to the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Hon Linda Obenwaa Akweley Ocloo, to inject deliberate efforts into making roads in Accra meet world standards.
In a video posted on his Facebook timeline, showing him walking along the streets of Côte d'Ivoire, he compared the country’s good roads to those in Ghana and emphasised the need for conscious, deliberate actions to help the capital city achieve world-class standards.

He shared a video of what he described as a professionally constructed road, complete with well-marked pedestrian walkways and clear road markings, features he believed were befitting of a capital city like Accra.
He further explained that achieving this was not difficult; all that is required, he said, are conscious and deliberate actions backed by law. He said
"There is nothing really difficult apart from consciously building good roads with road markings and beautiful flowers and trees all over. These are some of the things we have been demanding from our leaders."
Ralph St. Williams is popular for his criticisms of social ills and spirited advocacy for radical social change. Despite having a large social media following, his views and persistent calls for a radical approach to social change are not always well-received.
