President John Dramani Mahama has issued a strong warning against the illegal construction of buildings on waterways and protected lands, vowing to take decisive action to prevent the annual flooding crisis in Ghana.

Speaking at the 2025 National Eid-ul-Fitr celebration at Black Star Square, he condemned the increasing encroachment on flood-prone areas, which has led to widespread destruction of property.

“I must address a deeply troubling issue—the illegal construction of buildings in waterways, causing flooding and extensive destruction of property,” Mahama stated.

With the rainy season approaching, the President noted that some areas had already begun experiencing floods due to blocked drainage systems caused by unauthorized developments.

He particularly criticized private developers who, in collaboration with some chiefs, have converted protected Ramsar sites into built-up zones, calling their actions reckless and dangerous.

“Let me be clear, this must stop. Those structures will be pulled down, and we will not allow a few selfish individuals to endanger the lives and livelihoods of countless others,” he warned.

President Mahama assured Ghanaians that his government would take firm action against violators of urban planning regulations.

He emphasized that demolition exercises would be carried out without exception and that offenders would be held accountable for their actions.

“The law will be enforced, and those who flout it will face the consequences,” he declared, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to ensuring a safer and more resilient urban environment.
