Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has voiced his concerns over the significant delays in implementing projects aimed at alleviating the challenges faced by Accra residents prior to the yearly flooding occurrences.
Expressing his worry, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah emphasized that the initiatives outlined in the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Programme are not progressing at the anticipated pace.
In a statement to reporters, he affirmed the government’s commitment to minimizing casualties associated with flooding in Accra.
“The project is not moving as quickly as we had all initially expected, right from the project design stage. And this has been due to a number of factors. Some of those factors include the review processes and mechanisms that were put in the initial framework that required a two-step review for every work before it was executed. Compensation even for project-affected persons was not initially envisaged in the funding arrangements that were made.”
