Necessary work. Pair the demolitions and dredging with strict waste-management enforcement and public education so the drains don’t clog again in six months. Hope the Task Force stays visible🇬🇭🇬🇭

Government should sack all District and Municipal CEOs who allow development after this exercise. It’s not enough to tell them to monitor

Necessary and long overdue. Clearing the drains and removing structures on waterways is the right move after the recent floods. Now the real test is whether this becomes continuous work instead of a one off reaction every rainy season. Pair the demolitions with strict waste management and buffer zone enforcement so the drains don’t clog up again in a few months.

Following the demolition of unauthorised structures around the Tesa Dam at East Legon, the Flood Mitigation Task Force started dredging the Tesa Dam, which serves as a retention basin for floodwaters. The exercise involves removing heavy silt deposits to restore the dam's storage capacity and improve the free flow of water, with the aim of reducing flood risk along the Motorway, East Legon, and surrounding communities. #JoyNews

Honored to be the new Chair of the Promoting Peace and Security Task Force. As someone who lived through war, I’ve seen the real impact of conflict, and I believe we need a foreign policy that starts with investing in diplomacy and peace.
