Railways contribute to social enthusiasm in addition to market competitiveness by conveying millions of consumers as well as personnel to urban places and villages around the world. All over the world countries are recognizing the important role that railways contribute to their economy. In the 1950s, Ghana’s railway transport was considered to be one of the best on the continent of Africa. The railway was a major transport connecting to the major cities of the country. Railway transport was very efficient, reliable, affordable and safe. The most important aspect of it was how it refurbished the local economy of traders and the conveyance of agricultural products from the production source to the market centers. This scholarly, therefore, examined the politics of railway transportation and development in Ghana.

    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY - GHANA NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN OF THE STOCKHOLM CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS ACCRA, DECEMBER 2007 National Implementation Plan – Ghana __________________________________________________________________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The successful preparation of Ghana’s National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is another success story of a multi-stakeholder collaboration for the sound management of chemicals in Ghana. The hardwork, cooperation and support by all national stakeholder institutions and individuals deserve recognition and appreciation. We are highly grateful to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for providing financial support for the NIP Development and UNIDO which served as Implementing Agency and for also providing technical support. The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is highly appreciated for conducting training in Action Plan development and also for reviewing the NIP document. We would like to express our profound gratitude to the team of national experts, who were involved at different stages in the course of developing the NIP, for their invaluable time and input. We are particularly indebted to the following individuals and their respective institutions that constituted the National Coordinating Team/Project Steering Committee: Mr. Edward Osei Nsenkyire (formerly of Ministry of Environment and Science, Chairman); Mr. Jonathan A. Allotey (Environmental Protection Agency, National Project Director); Mr. John A.

Obiri-Danso 1*, B. Adjei 1, K. N. Stanley 2 and K.

E. N. S., Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YQ, UK. Accepted 24 November, 2008 Many communities in Kumasi, Ghana, are increasingly dependent on boreholes and hand dug wells. The aim of this study was to examine the drinking water suitability of 6 wells and 3 boreholes in peri- urban communities in Kumasi, between December 2003 and January 2005. Total coliforms, faecal coliforms and enterococci were enumerated using the standard most probable number method and membrane filtration methods. The heavy metals in the water samples were determined using the atomic absorption spectrometry method. Overall, significantly higher bacterial counts were recorded during the wet (rainy) season compared to the dry (harmattan) season. Faecal coliforms counts (FCC) in 3 borehole samples ranged between 3 x 10 1 and 3.5 x 10 7 per 100 ml (geometric means 1.82, 1.75 and 2.8 x 10 4) while mean numbers of enterococci were 10 3-105 times lower. The range and geometric means of FCC was similar in samples from wells but levels of enterococci were 8 times higher than in boreholes.
