Coordinator of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) Sanitation and Water Project, Engineer George Aseidu has given assurance that the Kaneshie first light drainage construction work which had delayed would be completed in two weeks time.
According to the coordinator of GAMA, the project which should have been completed a month earlier that was March 31, 2019, had delayed because they uncounted major Ghana Water Company (GWC) pipeline which had to be relocated in the course of construction.
“These are major pipelines so we needed to work on them in working on them there was the need to divert some of the pipelines properly so that we would not have future problems, again we were confronted with major activities which were not part of what we had to do and to do it well has taken us almost four weeks”.
Speaking in an interview, he pointed out that the development accounted for a little delay in the expected time of completion of the work and added that when the drainage work is done in two weeks the remaining time will be used to instate the roads.
The World Bank is pumping seven million Ghana cedis into this project to end the perennial flooding.
At the time of the visit to the project site, a delegation from the World Bank were on location to visit progress of various works they had sponsored.
