President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the restoration of a ramsar site. This site is located at Mallam Junction in Accra. It also includes a water retention basin.
The area beneath the Mallam Junction Interchange has been filled with gravel. It has been turned into a plain field for private firm Caitec Motors.
“Remove all the gravels you have deposited here,” President Mahama said. He instructed them to take it back at their own cost.
The President's order came after a briefing from Stan Xoese Dogbe. Dogbe is the Chairman of Government’s Anti-flooding Task Force and Deputy Chief of Staff. The briefing occurred during Mahama's tour of flood-prone areas in the capital.
