The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), Henry Kwabena Kokofu has ordered construction works on a building
famed on social media as Ashaley Botwe ‘Tower of Babel’ to come to an immediate
halt, MyNewsGh.com reports.
The EPA boss who visited the building site this
morning after images of the building surfaced on social media over the weekend
disclosed in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Accra-based Peace FM that the
owner of the building does not have an EPA license to put up such a structure.
“Kwame, with my initial observation, the building
needs to be pulled down. I have ordered them to stop work as they do not have
an EPA permit but without any professional structural assessment, you don’t
need to be told that this building needs to be pulled down.
I have asked the owner to come
to our office but one thing is for sure that the building will be pulled down.”
He stated.
The Ashaley Botwe ‘Twin Tower’ first surfaced on social media after a citizen, one Yaw Pare posted on his Facebook timeline with the caption
But on a serious note it looks like something with a
distorted structural integrity. Anyway let me go find some landscape picture to
take and share..lol”.
