Byuilding code changes and enforcement WILL go a long way to address flooding. In Accra and Kumas, every square centi meter is cemented. If cementing compounds is prohibited, the land will soak most of the rain water. As it is currently, these cemented foumes and facilities act as roof and the water runs into gutters not designed for those volumes of water.

Let's start by keeping the gutters clear. Providing garbage cans and regular disposal of garbage so that the garbage won't end up back in the gutters.

KC, why are our gutters and drainages not covered? Who gave out the contract for those drainages and gutters if not the various assemblies? What instructions were issued to the contractors? Not to bother covering them? And we forget that we can avoid malaria if they were covered because no idiot will throw garbage or refuse into them? This is not rocket science now. Town and country planning of our assemblies have been useless over the years.

You’re very right my friend.

Basic sanitation will go a long way, plus maybe our civil engineers and construction engineers will also stop building open drains, which some people think is a replacement for their rubbish ...

The President has said he is going to ban Styrofoam single use items. It is not recycled at all and all goes into rubbish that is just thrown away after use. It has so many better alternatives so why blocks drains and choke water flow and causes flooding. What is the delay. Ban that immediately. We don't do the easy things but rather want billions to squander and chop.

Go check out Takoradi where flooding is ongoing. We are very pitiful when it comes to city management.

They will only steal 5.5 billion. We will be left with 500 million to misuse.

This is a clear sign of incompetency. He ought to be sacked immediately for just saying this nonsense. If he doesn’t get the $6b then what?
