CAITECH pledges full funding to solve Mallam flood crisis

Mallam residents may be a step closer to relief as Chinese firm CAITECH has pledged to fully finance a permanent solution to the persistent flooding problem affecting the area, which has been linked to an alleged illegal landfill site within the Weija Gbawe Municipality.

During an exclusive interview with Ghanaian journalist Daniel Benin Ohim, the Chairman of CAITECH, Tang Hong, expressed the company’s readiness to take full responsibility for funding and executing works aimed at resolving the long-standing environmental challenge.

“I am prepared to finance, provide logistics, and supply equipment to permanently stop this problem,” Tang stated.

However, he stressed that the success of the intervention depends on strong collaboration from the Weija Gbawe Municipal Assembly (WGMA) and other relevant state authorities.

According to him, previous attempts by CAITECH to engage stakeholders on a lasting solution have not yielded the needed commitment, despite repeated discussions over the years.

Tang is therefore calling on the Municipal Assembly, government agencies, and relevant authorities to urgently engage the company to agree on a coordinated plan to end the recurring floods affecting Mallam Junction and surrounding communities.

Heavy rainfall on Monday, June 29, 2026, claimed the lives of at least 12 people and destroyed several properties across Accra.

While the downpour brought grief and devastation to many families, it also produced some unusual and humorous moments that have since taken over social media. Several people were captured engaging in various activities during the rains, with many of the videos going viral online.
