Sue LKMA To Rebuild The Teshie Rasta Bush Area Road's Low-Lying Vehicular Bridge - And Name It After Dr. Aya Hayfron

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to get hard-of-hearing-officialdom to act to finally address long-standing complaints.  That is why one hopes that something positive will emerge for the residents of the Teshie Rasta bush road area, who were traumatised by the tragedy that occurred there recently, when the low-lying vehicular  bridge along that popular traffic-gridlock-dodging road, was inundated with water from the flash flood in which Dr Aya Hayfron's life was tragically cut short, when she drowned in the fast-flowing flood waters that swept her to her untimely death. One commiserates with her family and friends on their terrible loss. May her soul rest in peace. She must not be allowed to die in vain. No.

For the information of the residents of the Teshie Rasta bush road area, there actually is a  legal path open to them to sue the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly (LKMA), which will force  the local authorities under whose jurisdiction their area falls, to act to get the low-lying bridge-of-infamy reconstructed to make it safer for use during heavy rainfall.  This blog recalls that the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly was once taken to court by the bold  and fearless lawyer, Mrs. Margaret Acheamong, who was able to get the court to order LKMA to make good the then terrible road in front of the row of houses that included  her own house.

Having been given this vital piece of information, one hopes that the residents of the Teshie Rasta bush road area will contact Mrs. Margaret Acheampong, and ask her to sue LKMA on their behalf - and get the law courts to issue an order to LKMA to rebuild that abominable disgrace to the civil engineedering profession in Ghana, and case-study in egregious public procurement corruption that results in such unpardonable and unspeakable shoddy construction work. When the bridge is finally rebuilt, they must honour the memory of Dr. Aya Hayfron, by naming the new bridge after her. It will stand as a monument to community activism that forces calcified officialdom to do ordinary people's bidding - instead of riding roughshod over them. Enough is enough. Haaba. We rest our case.
