THEY'VE BEEN DEATH TRAPS SINCE THE EARLY 90's

I remember Barns the former Ghana under 17 star and his parents cum siblings' lived on one of these flats. Their building had serious cracks long before the Italia 91 tournament. TDC used red paints on their building signifying danger after they were served eviction notice. It's been over 35 years since and normal human beings are living in there. Move them out quickly to avoid any disaster.

A court order from the TDC would work since the building pose a danger to life. It does not matter whether the occupants own it or not. An appropriate alternate relocation as mentioned should suffice at least in view of the danger the dilapidated buildings pose to life. The minister is showing some TIMIDITY here per his rhetoric. Whatever warning you give to the occupants is worthless vis-à-vis the clear and present danger to life. Minister, show some backbone, work with the TDC, the courts, relocate them, and tear the building down. A new housing complex can then the built by the TDC and the previous tenants can be giving the first right to purchase if they can afford the price for the new property. Get going people!!!

THE MINISTER IS SHOWING TIMIDITY, ABI??

People like you just talk "k3k3". Do you know how long these buildings were declared inhabitable? That was before Rawlings became the first president of the 4th republic. Now, count the number of housing ministers that have come and gone, and tell me who's really timid. For only this current minister to voice it out, bro give him his flowers.

It's their property you can not just evict them without relocating them, where the allocation was given at Kpone there is no water and proper roads in the area so how can they live there ?

You must move them to a suitable location before the building is pulled down. That is what any serious country will do.

I used the word suitable. The occupants of the flats are refusing to move out because it is alleged that the place they have given them is not suitable. I don’t want any bad thing to happen to them, however the government should do the needful. Look at houses new mount Ghana is building for the people the moved at Afrisipa and compare it to what government is giving to these families

Government just need to forget about elections, get cour order and forcibly evict them. If the building is a death trap, I wouldn't even give you much choice. Leave or be forcibly evicted. Period

I think Gh still needs a military dictatorship. These folks have been living in these flats free of charge for so many decades. Do those structures look like the fools inhabiting them can own them ? If they can afford to own them, why can't they renovate them?
So the Minister is asking them to sign suicide notes?
