President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the immediate removal of structures built in waterways as part of urgent measures to address the ongoing flooding crisis in Accra and other affected areas.
The directive targets illegal buildings and encroachments that block natural drainage paths, contributing to severe flooding during heavy rains. Authorities are expected to begin enforcement operations to clear waterways and restore proper drainage flow.
The move has sparked widespread public discussion, with many residents supporting the action as a necessary step to prevent future flood disasters, while others raise concerns about displacement and enforcement.
