The Coordinator of the Flood Mitigation Task Force, Brigadier General Forster Okae Yeboah, and his team have visited identified water retention ponds and affected communities.
Accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations, Stanislav Dogbe, Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, Kenneth Adjei, and 15 Engineer Brigade Commander, Brigadier General Richard Kinney, the team visited the Tesa dam near East Legon Boundary Road, Damfa, Amharia and Oyarifa.
The team also visited Kpeshie Lagoon, where the 48 Engineer Regiment continued dredging, and a major storm drain along Teshie Bush Road near the ICGC Temple East in Accra.
The operation forms part of the government’s post-flood mitigation measures following its directive to the Ghana Armed Forces to lead the exercise.
The unit has taken delivery of excavators and tipper trucks to facilitate ongoing works.
The post-flood mitigation measures will also include the possible demolition of structures that pose a danger to lives after the recent floods.
