The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, has ordered an immediate halt to the construction of a new structure near the East Legon Police Station, citing public safety risks and violations of regional spatial planning regulations.
On Monday, February 9, the Minister conducted an unscheduled site inspection with her technical team after reports of ongoing construction at the overpass.
The project, reportedly backed by a permit, raised serious concerns over potential obstructions to public infrastructure and the right-of-way.
Following the inspection, she instructed the developers to dismantle any framework already erected and remove all construction materials from the site without delay.
In addition, the Minister has formally requested the Municipal Chief Executive of the relevant assembly to review and revoke any permits associated with the project, ensuring that the development aligns with approved urban planning guidelines.
“The sanctity of our public spaces must be preserved, and we expect full cooperation from all stakeholders as we enforce these necessary measures,” she added.
