Ghana’s flood crisis reflects institutional neglect, not just poor waste disposal – Prof Frimpong-Boateng

Frimpong-Boateng said the floods that affected parts of the Greater Accra Region in late June exposed deeper failures beyond public attitudes towards waste disposal.

Former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has blamed Ghana’s recurring flooding challenges on what he describes as years of institutional neglect and poor enforcement of land use regulations."A nation that cannot summon the discipline to manage its waste and protect its wetlands cannot, by any stretch of imagination, undertake the disciplined, sustained project of national development that Professor Mills envisioned," he said.
