Baba Jamal announces demolition exercise in Ayawaso East after GARID project tour (Photos+Video)

Member of Parliament Baba Jamal has announced plans for a demolition exercise in Ayawaso East, targeting structures occupied by scrap dealers and squatters along gutters. This initiative aims to facilitate road construction and improve drainage works, contributing to better sanitation and living conditions for residents. The announcement follows a tour of ongoing projects under the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project, where Mr. Jamal expressed satisfaction with the progress.

However, he noted that additional interventions are necessary to tackle persistent issues such as drainage, sanitation, road infrastructure, and public safety.

To protect residents, dwarf walls have been constructed along some gutters to prevent falls into drains. Mr. Jamal also announced plans to plant trees along gutters to enhance greenery, air quality, and overall environmental health. In addressing sanitation and infrastructure concerns, the Assembly will remove scrap dealers and squatters from gutter areas, making way for road construction and drainage improvements.

Furthermore, plans include demolishing dilapidated school buildings and replacing them with modern, multi-story structures to enhance educational infrastructure and provide pupils with a superior learning environment.

While Mr. Jamal expressed satisfaction with the GARID Project's progress, he emphasized the need for more development interventions to fully meet the constituency's requirements. The planned initiatives are anticipated to improve public safety, boost sanitation, promote environmental sustainability, and strengthen educational infrastructure throughout Ayawaso East.
