Shouldn't some discussion over the rationale behind construction - the political reasoning - and the consequences be included as well? matt91486 19:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


And couldn't this page link to Kwame Nkrumah too??--72.67.37.241 06:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I find the statement "As a result of the larger companies taking the electricity for themselves and their industry, the people of Ghana have not actually benefited from the dam, which was its original purpose" somewhat contentious. Since the dam provides the majority of electricity that Ghanaians use, how can it be said they haven't benefited? Bdsr 14:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed that statement now. It had not been attributed, and quite frankly, it never could have been since it was obviously wrong. 81.235.136.245 (talk) 12:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Strange ref

Excuse my ignorance but I haven't come across the ref (Fobil 2003) before. It doesn't seem to link to anything on my computer anyway. SuzanneKn 15:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
