LACK OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THE CAUSE OF FLOOD- NCC BOSS

According to the Deputy Chairperson for National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Mrs. Augustina Akumaning says the lack of law enforcement in the country has been identified as one of the reasons for the perennial flooding in the nation’s capital
She said people build on water logged areas without considering the implication of their action.
She noted that people do not have regard for the laws of the land, irrespective of their social and political status and this has compounded serious environmental problem for the country.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mrs. Akumaning said this annual flooding situation can be prevented if people amend their ways towards the environment.

Mrs. Augustina Akumaning therefore called for re-establishment of community watchdog committee to protect the environment from being polluted.
She maintained that McCarthy Hill to Nyanyano and its environs have been identified as earthquake prone zone, yet people have built houses in these areas without considering the safety of these buildings.
