Mrs. Queenstar Maame Pokuah Sawyerr, the Chairperson of Parliament’s Local Government and Rural Development Committee, has called upon the Central Regional Coordinating Council to collaborate with key stakeholders to demolish and rebuild old structures in Cape Coast. The capital of the Central Region should engage in discussions with chiefs, religious leaders, and property owners of dilapidated buildings.
Mrs. Sawyerr expressed concern over the presence of old and decrepit buildings, some of which have collapsed, posing safety risks to residents and diminishing the city’s aesthetic appeal. During the CRCC’s appearance before the committee to review the 2025 Annual Audit Statement of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies, she highlighted the disparity between the safety of the regional minister’s residence and the state of many old, muddy buildings in Cape Coast.
