Minister and a joint team of police and NADMO officials, he also ordered authorities to ensure the structure is demolished by Wednesday to prevent flooding in the area. The Engineer has said he has not authorized this structure to be here and i do not have a problem when people are building but especially with the rains about

to set in and we cannot allow all these things to go on. NADMO, you will get the machines, National Security will assist you, and it has to go down. Meanwhile, the Municipal Engineer of the Tema West Assembly also Vincent Blah Quarshie says several attempts to halt the construction of the washing bay have proven futile.
