The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), in the Ashanti Region, has charged District, Municipal and Metropolitan Assemblies (MMDAs), to inspect sites for proposed construction projects before\u00a0issuing out permits.<\/p>\n

The construction of residential buildings in inappropriate locations in the region, was brought under the spotlight following recent floods in capital Kumasi, which displaced hundreds of people.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”LR3r7e0JPce1QGAgwFiJ2sqXqd0hwYIQ”]The Regional Coordinator of NADMO, Kwabena Senkyire, told Citi News<\/strong> that experts in the various MMDAs, have to ascertain that lands which have been requested\u00a0are available, and have not been earmarked for other projects before permits are issued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technocrats at the various District Assemblies, if somebody comes to request for a permit to build on a waterway, they have to go and assess the kind of the land they are requesting. They have to go and ascertain if it is or not close to waterways. We shouldn\u2019t buy lands from watersides or places demarcated for schools and sanitary sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials of NADMO blamed the floods on people building on waterways, and described the incident as man-made, a claim which has been denied by the residents, who maintain\u00a0it is as a result of the poor construction of the bridge\u00a0over the drain.<\/p>\n

The disaster organisation is yet to provide relief items<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to the affected people, but Kwabena Senkyire revealed that a report would be sent to the headquarters in Accra from where the items would then be allocated and distributed.<\/p>\n

He also questioned the work of the MMDAs, saying they should be playing major roles in the relief efforts given the amounts of money they receive from residents in taxes and fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our responsibility to send the report to Accra and we have done it. We have done everything, but we are going to send it to the national headquarters on Monday. Whatever is going to be dispersed or whatever we are going to give to the victims will be determined by [headquarters],\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what about the District Assemblies that they have been paying taxes to; property rates, land rates \u2013 what are they also doing for these people.? We are embarking on education. When there\u2019s something available for the victims, we\u2019ll give it to them. After all, it\u2019s not for NADMO, it\u2019s for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
