The Daily Graphic says with the level of advancement in Science and Technology, Ghana's Capital City should not be recording the highest Cholera infection and subsequent deaths when strict adherence to personal hygiene could have prevented these needless deaths. The paper thinks institutional failure has brought about pain and grief in society because if the district assemblies had enforced their bylaws, the mounting garbage would have been cleared long ago. The Graphic agrees that leadership must lead by example but again, it thinks this should be the last time the President and vice would lead the crusade to promote clean environments. It says that the mandate lies with the district assemblies and if that does not happen, the Chief executives must be shown the exit. The Daily Graphic hopes the move by the AMA to get chop bar operators to run their businesses in a clean environment will not be a nine days wonder. 

The Ghanaian times supports President Mahama in directing multi-national companies to invest in processing facilities in order to create jobs, the paper urges African countries to look inward for solutions to the unemployment situation. According to the paper, the shortcomings in employment generation in various countries cannot be laid only at the doorstep of transnational firms because individual countries also owe it a responsibility to create employment locally. To the paper, the trouble is that many attempts made to establish industries similar to those of transnational firms have been met with keen hostilities.
