Ga South Assembly identifies 1,200 illegal structures for demolition to curb flooding
Mr. Moses Kabutey Ocansey, the Municipal Chief Executive of Ga South, called on residents to make environmental sanitation a top priority during the National Sanitation Day exercise at Ngleshie Amanfro. He stated that the assembly has identified and earmarked about 1,200 illegal structures for demolition as part of measures to address perennial flooding and encroachment. Mr. Ocansey warned residents against building in waterways and other unauthorized areas, stating, "The laws are clear. No one should build in waterways. We are going to be tough because these actions put lives at risk, especially during the rainy season."
The National Sanitation Day event brought together thousands of residents, assembly officials, and security personnel who swept streets, desilted choked gutters, and cleared weeds. Engineers were also on site dredging selected drains to improve water flow. The two-day exercise was led by Mr. Ocansey and his team, who monitored the exercise across several communities.
