Ghana engineers stress need for proactive flood prevention strategies

We have silted up infrastructure and this is what we are calling for authorities to sit up and prepare so that we don’t have any crisis on our hands.

Highlighting the fiscal constraints hampering project execution, Mr Nkrumah revealed that funding challenges hindered the completion of projects in 2023.

The Minister stated that the project is a $200 million project funded by the World Bank, adding “But what has actually been released or spent is not up to two hundred million dollars but the implementation has been slow for a number of reasons.”

He revealed that there are still flood control projects that have yet to be undertaken in the Kaneshie area in Accra.

“So there’s a lot of work that needs to be done

I’m sure you see me every time with the contractor, chasing them, trying to get their payments for them so that they can deliver.

We would do our best with the time and resources that we have and we would make a case for more resources and some more seriousness in getting the work done so that in the shortest possible time, it will be a thing of the past,” he said.
