Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. The problem is not the river, the problem is the people. Every river has what we call the flood plains. This is the bondaries that the rever expands itself from time to time. Greedy chiefs who disrespect nature has sold this flood plains at a time when the river has receeded to the river bed to people who are ignorant of the facts. And because the KMA like all municipal assembly administrators are ingrates, there is no adequate planning as to where to build and not to build. So they build in the flood plains. Then when the river takes what is naturalrry hers, the flood plains, those who built there will have a date with floods. Then they blame the river and offer sacrifices. Kojo Bonsu, the river did not cause the floods, the greedy chiefs and the people encroched on the river flood plains. So this is what I will advise you to do instaed of sacrificing a hapless sheep. Let the KMA pass laws that will allow the rivers a breathing room, so that they can utilise and overflow the flood plains. This my friends is plain common sense.

As you imply, anyhow, dredging can only provide temporary relief from the floodings, because the precautions of not building in the flood-ways have been disregarded.
As long as houses will be in the areas prone to floodings, they will permanently recurring get problems.

There are 2 issues that was not addressed. Are people still building along the low lying areas of the river banks or the population of the village grown during the years for people in the area to contaminate the river? Look, if the chiefs want some meat and drinks and they are claiming they have to perform some rites, do not use government resources. After all, this should be a private-public partnership. The people and their chiefs should resolve the pacification issues while the government perform the dredging. This Mayor is an idiot to suggest government resources should be engaged in such practices? Why should a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc. taxes be spent on a god? These guys are not smart and should not be given the room to abuse our resources on flimsy excuses. By the time this stupid pacification exercise is over, the assembly would have spent almost $5,000. Stop this nonsense and get on the dredging to alleviate the problems of the people. Alternatively, policies should be implemented and enforced to avoid continuous erection of residential housing along the low level areas of the river. Enforce the laws and force people to move...that is governance that is common sense.

The best solution top flooding is to stop construction and human settlement in river's banks and path because water will find its own path when its route is blocked causing over flows and floods.
This time is in Kumasi and we have nobody to blame the government. Where is Mr. Pratt??
Extensive work, including dredging, is crucially needed to avert the flooding which creates problems for the people in the area. WHY DONT U DO THE NECESSARY DREDGING. CONSULT WITH KNUST/UNIVERSITY RESEARCH STUDENTS, PROFESSIO ...

superstitious believe, instead of scientific approach
Serve the Living God and stop following lies and stupidity
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. The problem is not the river, the problem is the people. Every river has what we call the flood plains. This is the bondaries that the rever expands itself from time to time. Greedy chiefs who ...

Nice comment.
I think (or rather: sincerely hope and reckon) that Mr. Bonsu knows these facts, but he probably only tried to appease to superstitions, that they don't hinder or halt the work any longer.
As you imply, anyh ...

Politics will kill Ghana. Just do the right thing. Enforce the laws so people do not build in waterways. Why waste resources on people who flagrantly flout the laws?
Nkwaseafo,nkurasefo. Instead of spending the little money they have in their coffers, look at what they are wasting it for. Such primitive people termed themselves as the leaders of the country. Where will this happened other ...

This is backward thinking. Can the community not take some precautions ahead of time to ensure their own safety?
Eye asem ooh!
GHANA WILL NOT PROGRESS WITH SUCH PEOPLE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS.
Is this the BEST Idea our Engineers from KNUST with 1st.Class /2nd upper can come up with ?? I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED INDEED in our ABILITY to solve ANY Problems in Ghana!!!
Ghana Repent, Repent, Repent. It is time to turn away from these evil deeds of darkness and turn to Jesus Christ the Living God.
every graduate that comes out of a university in Ghana thinks he has conquered the unconquerble and knows everything. This is a case in point where they cannot even fix such a simple problem but woe betide you if you ever get ...

There are 2 issues that was not addressed. Are people still building along the low lying areas of the river banks or the population of the village grown during the years for people in the area to contaminate the river? Look, ...

They don't have the know-how to build the drainage system and the sacrifice of a sheet provides an easy answer.
God has said the land will eat up the idol worshippers on His land.Every offender will be judged. No one can escape the sin of idol worshipping judgement.
HOw backward can you get! Is this the Lower Middle Income status you have been crowing about? Sh** has been dumped in the Subin River for the past thirty years, a practice that has been responsible for the virtual death of th ...

THIS TELLS YOU ABOUT THE MIND OF A LITERATE BLACK GHANAIAN, EDUCATED WITH PhD, OR WITH NO EDUCATION.

Amen to your comments. What is wrong with demolishing the buildings near the river and resettling them elswhere to avoid such a recurrence?
In this day and age why resort to outdated way of doing things. Enforcement of environmental laws is the answer.
THEN WE WONDER WHY THERE IS SO MUCH POVERTY, ACCIDENTS AND LAWLESSNESS. GOD HATES IDOL WORSHIP AND GHANA SHOULD BE CAREFUL, NOT TO GET CLOSE TO IDOL WORSHIP.
This is stupidity magnified, multiplied by nonsense. Oh ho!! Aba!
WHEN YOU LACK VISION, WISDOM AND GOD'S BLESSING, YOU BECOME DESPERATE AND YOU RESORT TO IDOL WORSHIP IN YOUR DESPERATION. WHAT DOES JOHN MAHAMA SAY ABOUT THIS HAPPENING RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE???????? IS JOHN MAHAMA IS HE AWARE ...

Slaughtering or praying. What is the difference?
Slaughtering poor sheep isn't the issue. To do this as a slolution to floods....kai GHANA!!
OH AFRICA! WHEN? PRACTICING THIS IN THIS CENTURY? Why don't they sacrifice a cow to pacify the land to stop road accidents? Does not make sense does it?
Your joke seems to have come true:

In this day and age can these primitive ideas give way to modernism. Construct drainages fools!
And we are supposed to be Christian and Islamic nation.
We are really confused, if you asked.
This Ghana politicians in kumasi are just as useless as their masters in .They should have sacrificed an elephant for more meat and blood.All these fools call themselves leaders of Ghana.May God save the poor Ghanian child .
