The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Hon.
Obenewaa Ocloo, has announced that a major demolition exercise will begin in selected communities at Tema on Monday, August 4, 2025.The affected areas include Community 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12.Speaking during an inspection tour, the minister expressed deep concern about the frequent flooding in Accra.She blamed the problem on the actions of some residents who have put up buildings on waterways, blocking the natural flow of rainwater.She explained that many of these illegal structures had been built near lagoons and gutters that were meant to carry water during heavy rains.According to her, when these water bodies are blocked, there is nowhere for the water to go, which leads to unnecessary flooding in the city."We are not going to tolerate this anymore.
I am very firm and focused on this demolition exercise.
Nothing will stop us from doing the right thing," she said.Hon.
