The Minister of Works, Housing and Water Resources, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, has hinted that the government is working on strategies to address drainage issues and mitigate the effects of heavy rains, especially around the Odaw River and other vulnerable areas in Accra and across the country.
He said consequently, dredging was going on in both the lower and upper basins of the Odaw River to improve water flow and reduce the risk of flooding in communities it flows through.
Additionally, he said the ministry had initiated public education campaigns through mobile vans to raise awareness about the dangers of indiscriminate waste disposal in drainage systems.
The minister told The Ghanaian Times this on Tuesday.
