The Local Government Service Association of Physical Planning (LOGSAPP) has commended President John Dramani Mahama for expressing his commitment towards enforcing planning regulations and ensuring environmental safety to curb haphazard developments that destroy water bodies.
Addressing the National Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in Accra on Monday, President Mahama condemned the illegal construction of buildings in waterways and attributed such practices to the devastating floods that frequently occur in many communities across the country.
President Mahama condemned the practice, stressing that building a better Ghana is a shared responsibility.
He emphasized, "The law will be enforced, and those who flout it will face the consequences." He described the illegal construction of buildings and structures in waterways as "a deeply troubling issue" that leads to consistent flooding.
