As I drive between Accra and Kumasi, soo many private individual projects and developments are coming up and I became frightened. Everybody wants to site his project by the roadside. As road works are being carried out throughout the country by the government of President Akufo-Addo, people should be cautious, people should be proactive and people should always cross-check with the relevant agencies in my ministry to make sure that they are siting their projects and properties at the right places,\u201d he said during a media engagement.<\/p>\n \u201cAt this stage, I\u2019m advising and if I\u2019m pushed\u2026I\u2019m warning every potential developer that if you make that mistake and start your construction, we will get to you soon and when we get to you even if it\u2019s a 10-storey building it will be demolished. Every Ghanaian should know that. No Ghanaian is bigger than this country and if we get to you, whoever you are, whatever money that you think you have\u2026to us, you are joking,\u201d Kwasi Amoako stressed. <\/p>\n It is however unclear when the demolition exercise will commence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" General News of Saturday, 8 January 2022 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2022-01-08 Roads and Highways Minister, Kwasi Amoako-Attah inspecting some road projects Kwasi Amoako-Attah expresses shock at buildings along highways Government declares 2022 as another year of roads Tamale interchange 95% complete The Roads and Highways Ministry is set to embark on a major demolition exercise of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":740190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740189\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Roads](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/89237930.295.jpg\" "\\"Roads")
