[@Afrikaislife]

This is why it is imperative that you do your due diligence when buying land or building your dream home. The land is reserved as a water way which means it gets water logged during rainy season, and is therefore an unstable foundation to build upon. This happens too in the States where people build their homes in an Arroyo, (a dry river bed) and wonder why they're flooded when the rains come. Great job Minister Henry Quartey.

[@XMLifestyle]

Ghanaians must respect the Laws am really happy to see our dearest brother in charge of projects These will make Ghanaians think of not wasting money ,and eye opening times, have come to all Chiefs and MPS and lands owners Instead of selling lands benefit from leasing and live on the royalties much better and way forward

[@jeanegbert8417]

Thanks Mr. Quartey for such a good leadership. Have you thought about transferring those responsible for issuing those building permits? Their selfish ambitions is the cause of these unauthorized structures sprawling up within the city. People must be held accountable in this nation. We cannot allow the old crude ways of doing business in Ghana to continue this way.

Men of no nonsense is what Nana Addo needs to help him get work done and change Ghana. People selling on highways and on pavements should be stopped as well.

A working minister.

[@nanaboat2478]

This is the only minister who seems to be working in Ghana, l am afraid. Nadmo get working and stop talking too much. How come these officials couldn’t do anything on their numerous visit? Please help this minister to succeed. Some people in Ghana will selfishly fill their pockets without thinking of the consequences on others. This is more so with lands allocation in Accra-Tema metropolitan area. KUDOS TO YOU MINISTER, WE SALUTE YOU FOR YOUR NO NONSENSE APPROACH TO OUR PLIGHT DURING THE RAINY SEASON. GOD BLESS.

[@markkromah1845]

Great job regional minister, I like the way you are interrogating them, you are the best i hope the Ashanti regional minister is watching. Accra regional minister like Nana Addo you are out of your office and checking what is going on in the region and asking lazy and corrupt government officials questions, i applaud you for the job you are doing. You are a visionary leader. Many thanks sir, you are best of the president's appointees so far. Keep them on their toes, till they all learn to do their jobs properly,

[@kwadjoekaya6559]

I like this minister and we need so many of such people. He is just like the Roads and Highways minister. Indiscipline, ignorance and arrogance are killing us as people. Bravo, Mr. Minister! Accra is our capital and it needs better planning to make it a lively place to live. How can you live in a city without parks to take a walk or place to relax and meet people? We visit other countries and praise them for having beautiful towns and cities but when it has to do with Ghana, we want to be lawless and turn all our cities into shantytowns and blame it on the white man. Please enforce the laws of the land to ensure proper development. If any of your subordinates engage in bribery to issue permits to people to build any how, fire such an individual and make sure to prosecute him/her as well to serve as deterrent to others.

Henry you the BEST OF THE BEST.

These exercises in very important to all Ghanaians to see Ghanaians are fed up of individuals taking advantage of the communities .Chiefs and MPS individuals lands owners Selling lands instead benefit from leasing and live on the royalties Government should get all lands for investors not going through unnecessary activities with lands owners Making business sense Government can allocate Lands for businesses

Minister don't put law into your hands by demolishing people's Property without any proof to show about, please verify documents and let know the source in which this situation is coming from so that we can deal with it at the source, bcos if we don't deal with it at the source this situation will never end. Let know whether a permit was issued or not for this Property's was erected.

Boy the nigga Is a regional minister he knows what he's doing bruh

[@thebill8891]

Just pull them down and ask questions later It’s about time If it’s not done bribe will change hands and it will still be there Imagine we had ministers act where appropriate

[@favor2072]

He is doing his best but the big question is who gave them the authority to build. Dnt they go out and check and stop them.

[@liquidsword29]

I think the minister was just trying to blame anyone but himself, those responsible for making sure legal constructions are demolished should be fired... Those sites look like they've been going up for weeks, Bad management.

[@montanareacts8835]

He is new just 5 months in office...that's why he don't know ....I love this minister...the best in ghana now

[@buzinesempire3427]

There are many such on authorize buildings on water ways across the country they should go around and demolishing them these particular ones should not be used as a nine day wonder we want to see any on authorize building demolished one time

[@onthemovewithfiifi5811]

Do we need the minister himself to go to every site to get people to do what they are paid to do? The chiefs and all those sitting in various offices doing nothing or even taking monies to facilitate such behaviours should face the law, otherwise this nonsense would not stop in Ghana.

[@montanareacts8835]

Am sure soon the minister will surround himself with tough people that can move along...but for now must stay on top of the game

[@richnessbaff5647]

[@paakwegyir3165]

Can't wait to see action.. Wish I could be there.. Bulldozers and graders will be happy to get their engines running... Its about time hard measures are applied.. If after a warning you don't stop building there should be nothing like summons. Bulldoze everything flat sharp sharp.. Next the squatters at the lagoon at the so called tema new site should be evacuated.. We need action.

[@TheGabriel116]

The kings and queens are also to be blamed. The civil servants at the lands commission are also to be blamed. The buyers are least to be blamed. That’s my opinion.

[@donprincoify]

My blood boils when I see publications like this. WHY DO OUR LEADERS ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PROBLEMS TURN INTO CRISES BEFORE ACTING? Where were those Civil Servants Ghana pays good salaries(and sometimes even double salaries) to prevent this from happening and WHY ARE THEY STILL EMPLOYED? I can hear the restrained frustrations and anger in the Ministers voice and I share in his anger. Why do Ghanaians behave this way? Go and check and you will find that the owners of the structures"legally" bought and registered those lands and acquired" legal permits" before building the structures and yet not a single person will be held accountable for it. Only the owners of the structures are left with any type of loss. Is this even sane?

[@cnsmiles]

land commission is the problem. they are enabling the developers by issuing the deeds and indentures
