The property does not belong to this man self. According to him the property belongs another person. So what's the drama. So much indiscipline and illegalities going on in greater accra by people like these. Because of them Accra is choked, congested and filthy. I support the demolitions. Next time people will be discipline in their land dealings.

@Black wicked, what else would you have done after several warnings to them not to build in the area. The only solution now is to pull down the illegal structures, this can not be said to be an inhumane process. You can not build anything worth building based on emotions; the rule of Law is what works.

Some people know the right thing to do but they will not do it. The man is fully aware the place is not meant for buildings, but he went ahead to do so. I think some Ghanaians are also to be blamed for the worsening indiscipline in our country. Let's call a spade a spade. It's about time we hold the bull by the horn. We can never progress as a country if we continue to condone indiscipline. By the way, if they received permit for the structures, then authorities and public institutions responsible for this must be equally held accountable.

So why will the agencies responsible for town planning and the forestry department allow people to start and complete their building projects then they come and pull them down.

Enough!!! We have had these demolitions in the news for decades. As some places are being demolished other unapproved structures are being put up elsewhere. What a rat race!! When will we see the last demolition? Are we not tired enough, pained enough, weathered enough? We are certainly not organized enough.

Those who gave permits should be handed mallet and chisels to come full down the structures under military supervision and collect the dust and gravels in head pans.

Good question! I was trained as a planner in Ghana (a KNUST planning graduate). The planning law in Ghana does NOT permit the demolition of a completed building. Hence it’s illegal for the so called authorities to demolish a completed building! The judges sanctioning these demolitions don’t even know the Planning Acts in Ghana.

That planning law needs repealing: it is part of the bases for our woes. The strategy is to build/complete fast, even on waterways and the state can do foko. How does that help us?

Unless not sanctioned by a court of competent jurisdiction, no demolition or eviction is carried out without prior notice. Many have resorted to ;I was not informed and what have you' but this won't work. Such encroachers, illegal occupiers just ignore, disregard all prior court orders and when the time is due they cry foul. Do they realize the costs of all the court processes, bailiffs, publications in newspapers, police protection and whatever before demolition and possession is carried out? I don't pity them one bit !

If it's the rainy season and you're demolishing people's property, then you're lost. Your attention should be on the plastic and rubbish waste in the city, especially those clogging the gutters. Leave people in peace. You people are killing innocent people and making them suffer in their own country. Why?

Ghana is gradually becoming a lawless country in the sense that perpetrators of crime are often allowed to go scot-free.

Why were people given permission to build properties in restricted areas and Ramsar sites ???? Who gave permission ?????????? Who took bribes to get permission ?????????

Too many people in Ghana believe that they can do whatever they want because they know a “big” man or woman. About 3 years ago, someone foolishly tried to build in Department of Parks and Gardens land in Cantonments. He claimed to have bought some of the land - how did this happen ??? Someone also built a petrol station on Parks and Gardens land in Wa.

Who are the officials or politicians who allow such foolish behaviour to happen ?? So much of this nonsense was allowed to happen over the last 8 years. So many Ghanaians have problems following rules and enforcement. This negatively affects everyone else - just look at the terrible flooding that we have seen in Accra over the last few years because of buildings and walls in water courses. Some people behave in a brainless way, with no respect for the nation’s environment.

Most sensible cities allocate PROTECTED green spaces and parks for the benefit of residents. In Ghana, we stupidly cut down trees and try to build concrete structures everywhere. Do we want a concrete jungle ??
