\u201cThis is nonsensical and madness,\u201d Roads Minister, Kwasi Amoako-Atta fumed on Wednesday when he led a team to the Airport residential area Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Minister led the team to demolish a concrete barricade erected by some Turkish developers who are putting up a 22-storey building in the area.<\/p>\n
He also called for the arrest of the contractor working on the project.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
They had erected the barricade which blocked portions of the road, causing vehicular traffic. Cracks also have developed in the road as a result.<\/p>\n
Worse, the trench dug for the foundation of the storey building has caused cracks in some buildings of Association International School which is adjacent the site.<\/p>\n
Residents say the developers have no permit for the project. <\/p>\n
According to the headmistress of Association International School, the developers are also in defiance of a court order restraining them from proceeding with the construction. <\/p>\n
She told JoyNews numerous calls on city authorities since June 2019 to intervene, proved futile.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, however, Mr. \u00a0Amoako-Atta led a team to the site after media coverage on the issue increased.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of this project, you destroy public road?\u00a0This is nonsensical and madness. It is madness,\u201d Graphiconline reported the Minister to have said. <\/p>\n \n
