Speaking in an interview with Ghanadistricts.com, the DCE stated that, the removal of shops and structures which were situated on waterways illegally has made residents happy because it will curb perennial flooding in the area.

He said some of the houses were built without permits, adding that owners of the said illegal structures will be made to face the full rigour of the law.

He noted that, “developers who do not have permits from the district assembly who build on waterways are the next target”.

“We will comply with the law because if we are seen to be enforcing the law, we cannot be seen to be breaking it,” he added.
