President John Dramani Mahama has issued a strong warning to local government officials who approve building permits in waterways and flood-prone areas, stating that those found responsible will face dismissal.
Speaking at a Diaspora Town Hall Meeting, the President stressed that his administration will no longer tolerate the approval of developments that contribute to flooding and endanger lives and property.
His remarks come amid recurring floods in several parts of Ghana, where construction in drainage channels and natural waterways has often been identified as a major contributing factor.
According to President Mahama, officials responsible for enforcing planning and building regulations must be held accountable for their decisions. He emphasized that negligence or misconduct in the approval process will attract serious consequences.
The statement signals a renewed focus on enforcing building regulations and addressing factors that contribute to flooding across the country.
