President John Mahama has directed contractors working on the desilting of the Odaw drain to expedite work ahead of the rainy season to mitigate flooding in Accra.
During a tour of flood-prone areas in the Greater Accra Region, the President also took decisive action against illegal encroachment on water retention areas.
He ordered Caitec Motors, a private company that has illegally filled a Ramsar site and a water retention basin at Mallam Junction, to restore the area by removing the silt.
Additionally, President Mahama instructed the Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC) to ensure strict compliance with his directive.
This includes compelling Caitec Motors to desilt and clear the affected area and enforcing the removal of structures built in waterways.
