Poor drainage at Aflao border hampers
movement after rains
Aflao (V/R), March 27, GNA - An Assistant Director of the
Ghana Immigration Service in charge of Aflao, Mr Emmanuel
Yirenkyi has appealed to the authorities to consider
constructing a drainage system at the Aflao border.
He said the perennial muddy situation there anytime it
rained needed to be checked.
Mr Yirenkyi said this in an interview with the Ghana News
Agency on Monday after heavy rains rendered almost the
entire border area impassable for both pedestrians and
vehicles.
The whole area was waterlogged and there was thick mud at
the cargo, vehicle registration and other car parks and
travellers found it difficult to alight to go through
departure formalities.
The situation was worse on the road leading to the frontier
from the inter-city STC Transport Terminal as it got covered
with mud.
Mr Yirenkyi said as the country's gateway, all efforts
needed to be put in place to address all shortfalls to make
the Aflao frontier attractive and motivating to both
travellers and workers.
The heavy rain overturned some kiosks, ripped off roofs and
uprooted signposts including a giant one belonging to the
Ghana Telecom near the defunct OSA Bus Terminal close to the
border.
