President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the restoration of a ramsar site and a water retention basin at Mallam Junction in Accra.
The site which lies beneath the Mallam Junction Interchange has virtually been filled with gravel and turned into a plane field in readiness for habitation by the private firm, Caitec Motors. "Remove all (the gravels you have deposited here).
Take it back to where you brought it from at your own cost," President Mahama ordered on Wednesday.
The President's order followed a briefing given him by the Chairman of Government's Anti-flooding Task Force and Deputy Chief of Staff, Stan Xoese Dogbe, when he embarked on a working tour of some flood-prone areas in the capital.
