Brigadier General Richard Kinney, the Commander of the Engineer Brigade of the Ghana Armed Forces, attributed long standing flooding in the capital to indiscipline on the part of some residents in flood prone areas and said key measures which would to be taken would include the prevention of building in water ways.

Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affair, assured that the recce would be extended to other regions.

“The rains will be setting in soon and permanent solutions should be taken. But in the interim, maintenance works like desilting must be the immediate step,” he said.
