  1. Weak enforcement of planning rules worsens Accra flooding, says Quartey

    Former Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey attributed Accra's recurring flooding to weak enforcement of planning and environmental regulations, arguing that while flooding cannot be entirely prevented, its effects could be minimised through effective drainage infrastructure and strict enforcement of development regulations. He noted that unauthorised developments and human activities have obstructed natural watercourses carrying runoff from the Akuapem Hills through communities like Abokobi, Haatso and Achimota before discharging into the Odaw River and Korle Lagoon.
