President has emphasised that his government will not tolerate actions by selfish individuals that jeopardise the safety and well-being of Ghanaians, especially concerning the recurring flooding issues.
Speaking at the Black Star Square during the Eid Mubarak celebrations on Monday, March 31, 2025, the president disclosed that he is aware of some private developers collaborating with chiefs who sell Ramsayer sites to them, resulting in the construction of illegal buildings in areas designated for water retention. "I'm aware of instances where private businesses colluding with some chiefs are turning water retention areas, Ramsayer sites into built up zones.
Let me be clear, this must stop," he warned.
Warning of strong and decisive actions against such individuals and private developers, he stated that persons who are found culpable of flouting the directives will be severely dealt with.
