The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) would from Monday 12th April, 2010, embark on a demolition exercise to remove all unauthorized structures on waterways to reduce the perennial flooding in the city.
"The rains will surely come and the need to act quickly to prevent the reoccurrence of the perennial flooding disasters cannot be over emphasized."
In a statement to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) signed by Mr. James Dorgbetor, Head of Public Affairs, the AMA urged all owners of such
structures to remove their personal belongings.
Places to be affected are from the Chemu Lagoon to Agege Bridge, Alajo Bridge to the Railways Bridge, Banana Inn (Abolo Bridge) to Sukula, Kpehe, Caprice, Avenor to Circle and Zamaramaline.
The rest are Odorkor, behind the market, Sakaman through Busia Road, Darkuman Junction, Mataheko near Faith Evangelical Church and Atiko
junction.
