Hon. Henry Quartey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, has condemned the erecting of buildings along Ramsar site in the country.
A Ramsar site is a wetland site designated to be of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
In ordinary terms, a Ramsar site is a waterprone area reserved to avoid national hazards like floods.
Research indicates the Government of Ghana recently declared five coastal wetlands to be Ramsar sites.
The sites are Muni-Pomadze, Densu Delta, Sakumono, Songor and Keta.
In an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on
Peace FM s Kokrokoo programme, the Minister revealed that about 2,000 houses have been built within areas earmarked as Ramsar sites, hence posing threats to the city and its dwellers.
