Blame human activities along Tema motorway for flooding – Public Safety Bureau

The Bureau of Public Safety (BPS) believes that the flooding incident on the Tema Motorway after Monday’s rainfall is as a result of human activities especially settlements along the motorway.

BPS said until such activities are stopped, the motorway is likely to see more of such floods.

Dr. Charles Akayuli, the Technical Advocate responsible for Geospatial at BPS in a Citi News interview noted that in the past, rainwater was able to easily seep into the ground and flow out but due to the many developments along the motorway that does not happen.
