  I have been calling for the demolishing of illegal strictures constructed on waters ways since the killer flood killed more than 200 people in Accra, and have even called for the exercise to be extended to all the regional capitals, cities and towns where such structures exist. I feel the exercise should include securing our pavements or walkways from traders who extend their structures to cover the walkways or pavements and force pedestrians to walk on our streets and endanger their lives. Also, containers and kiosks placed on these walkways or pavements should be taken away or demolished on sight. In fact, the illegal structures don't only threaten our lives, but the scenes also depict how primitive and uncivilized we are as a nation.
  
  Sadly, the officials who facilitate these illegal actions in our society, either directly through bribery or indirectly through negligence of duty, are left free to enjoy their booties. They are now lying low for the dust to settle so that they could continue lining their pockets at the expense of this nation and its people. It looks like our laws are meant for the week and vulnerable, leaving the real culprits whose actions lead to such catastrophes. They must also be sought and dragged to court to answer, and be given long jail terms if found guilty, for lessons to be learned. We can't keep criminals and nation wreckers masquerading as civil servants in our society. Moreover, what has the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development and his two deputies been doing to uphold Ghanaian laws regarding the environment?
