I totally agree with the decision of the Ghana water comp. Citizens should learn to do the right thing. Those buildings have enchroahed and therefore the owners have to bear the consequences.

I agree with you, Environment Lady. We should not perpetuate illegality by compensating people who break the country's laws.

The distance is 300 metres buffer zone along the lake and NOT 100 feet and people have built close to 100 metres from the lake. Still how can people put houses just 100 metres from the lake?

I was in school, ie over 15yrs ago when we went on a student excursion to Weija water-works. I vividly noticed the encroachment. At the time, AMA was also dumping solid waste waste in the area, but people continued to build, despite warnings. How do u pay compensation to such?

With some commonsense, the spilling could have been started weeks ago, on a gradual scheme, instead of waiting till the upper limit is reached, before drastic measures become unavoidable.

one dam was build and first flood occured! Build another dam upstream to catch excess water or divert to another lake

Now we know who is burning the markets. Asiedu Nkatia has just confirmed that his foot soldiers must keep on burning the fire. NDC want to destroy the country before jon mahama goes to jail after the court case. Ghanaians must be vigilant so that those foolish foot soldiers will be caught even before they set those fires. NDC is evil, NdC is criminal, NDC is murderous, NDC must be destroyed because they are destructive

You need to stay on topic. There is no wisdom in what you posted. Don't let politics take your commonsense from you.

Publish areas safe or unsafe for dwelling or occupying in the county. As in any situation of care and responsibility, a significant resource should be spent on prevention.

Those who have built structures in unauthorized areas, should not be compensated. Ghanaians are fond of disrespecting laws when it comes to unauthorized building. According to Ghana Water Company, the waterway is being hampered by buildings which are not supposed to be there and releasing the excess water will by no means, caused havoc and untold hardship.

Those living in such areas, need no compensation and must bear whatever cost that come their way.

Good decision.Don't pay them a penny. They know the risk before settling in the area. The company plans to spill excess water from the dam as been in the picture for very long time. Only fools would say they don'y know.

I realise these people broke the rules but sometimes people go to extremes to survive, perhaps they could only afford to squat illegally. We need more affordable housing in this country
