Kojo Elvis you're right. I'ts time people go buy land and build in their home town. Accra is choked. Town and country planning do they existed and functional?
In Ghana our institutions are there in name only. You see the have electricity and soon water. When a community starts to develop, Government must construct the roads, even without the asphalt. Schools, markets, parks churches, lorry parks, police stations, hospitals roads and streets etc, should all be marked. This is the usual. Those selling the lands just sell anyhow even though they know the plan of the area. They don't care. They only sell and then put pressure on you to build, build and build. The useless Town and County Planning will then raise their ugly faces to demand permits, break houses and punish encroachers. People should do their land search etc before building to avoid wasting money.
You see this is the problem we have in Africa and Ghana. The so called authorities will sit by and watch watch till it gets to a very bad state then as usual they come to make unfounded explanations. Why do I say that is it not the case in maccarthy Hill, kasoa, that has been causing problems for the main roads and those living down stream. You see the thing is 1. It's not every mountain or hill that has to be built on. 2. If you want to build on a hill there is a way to do it. But over here people just get up and say I want to build on a hill I want to build on the beach front. Places like akuapim mountains the government and the chiefs must not allow anybody to build on certain parts of the Mountain but as we speak its going on. As for the assembly people hooo they are there for jus being there. I think the government should first let geo people do a survey so that the hills not suitable for building be taken over by the state to prevent greedy selfish people from selling and building to put peoples lives in danger.
@Pedrot king What if we allow people build on these hills but create deep gutters from uphill to downhill to channel water downstream? Because there's limited land space in Accra/ our prime areas. Trees/greenery can always be incorporated into the landscape. People/ the authorities should build high rises on our limited Accra lands
@@markntiri8251 you see yes on some hills what you saying can be done but not all. Some of the hills as soon as you begin cutting trees weeding and grading you just destroy the thing and make it erode. No with what you described if it is done well and supervised but you know this place they will start well then the rest will be left to go on any how, before long heavy rains come then there's a big mess.
@Pedrot king Hopefully our hills are not the "soft" type. I remember a hillside disaster in Sierra Leone some few years ago that killed so many people who were still asleep in their homes. It doesn't rain so much in Accra so hopefully no massive hillside disaster happens here, because the REALITY is that people would continue to build on these hills It can't be stopped. The authorities should encourage the builders to build very strong structures, and to contruct very deep gutters to channel rainwater downstream
@@markntiri8251 why can't it be stopped. The state can take over all such hill lands which pose danger and cease chiefs and land developers from building that's if the state is really serious about it. Rather than build on the state can plant trees and shrubs to hold the soil and rocks together.
@Pedrot king Im talking REALITY. We're both Ghanaians, we know how things operate here. The Accra minister cleared Makola of hawkers, they came back, because they've got nowhere to go. The roads minister stopped a building project that had destroyed roads behind Association school, construction is ongoing. Accra is choked, people NEED space to build, they'd build on these hills. The authorities should just control the space/ building process. Properly demarcate/lay out these spaces, create road ways, create gutters to channel water downstream, make sure quality materials are used in building etc etc The only spaces that we cannot build on in Ghana are Ramar sites and forest reserves. Even the Ramsar sites a lot have been filled up
Thanks so what is the resolution to this debacle? Are you going to share this 'tired lady's ' deep felt pain with the authorities? It's not funny anymore after 64 years !
The interviewer is a bit geeky.... she is serious. The country is bogus. Growing up, it was all bushes...what is authority doing to standardize things?
Very wise woman i love her sense of humour
Kojo Elvis you're right. I'ts time people go buy land and build in their home town. Accra is choked. Town and country planning do they existed and functional?
How about ppl from Accra? How about ppl born in Accra and only know Accra. Also ppl who’s jobs are tied to Accra?
In Ghana our institutions are there in name only.

where is town and country planning to protect the environment
It's the authorities and leaders that are buying such properties. What do you expect 😂😂
Ask again.
It’s sad
This is Ghana, you think they give a sh** about town and country planning? 😂😂
this is exactly what happens when development is not planned through an urban planning policy .#thirstyarchitects
Caleb you need to come to Ayi Mensah Zanzibar down. Craziness
Tell them Grandma 👍🏾👍🏾
SMH when will Ghana learn to plan and develop accordingly.
Sad state of affairs🤔🤔
I love my grand mommy
Nature will revenge. We can’t be building everywhere. Why do we hate greenery?
People should go and build in their home towns aaba. Nkran ay3ma!
burgus town and country planning,we do our things like animals no plaining shit menn
Massa, you're right!
In fact, I'm frustrated in this country.
I worry for my children...
Very true stupid leaders who don’t reason all they do is to take money and allow ppl to build just any how anywhere.
She’s very funny! She meant to say bush not farm
Jerry promoted the term Accountability. However, I don't think we moved the needle on accountability. Ye tim bebia ye tim.
Twea jerry himself, was he accountable?

This guy no wonder he was arrested.
Blame the chief's not the government.
Next 50 years the chiefs won’t exist anymore. No educated person will want to be a chief, except lazy ppl who don’t want to work 😂
@@Ahoto_papa_bi who told you? Stop being ignorant.
@@myAfricanAffairs cry louder 😭
Both have to be blamed.
Chiefs don't issue building permits.
