In other news, the Ga Mantse has called for a new master for the Greater Accra Region.
The Ga Mantse stressed that the current state of Accra is choked with congestion in planned settlements.
According to the Ga Mantse, modern capital is not inherited, they are deliberately built and designed.
Speaking at the 3rd Ghana Construction Industry Excellence, on December 18, 2025, the traditional ruler stated, “It’s choked with congestion on planned settlements, strained sanitation systems, inadequate drainage, and uncondemnated infrastructure. To confess, the modern capital is not inherited. It is designed. It is planned. It is deliberately built.”
“I therefore urge government and the private sector partners to form a strong, well-coordinated coalition to revise the current master plan of Accra,” he said. “That is very, very important. Accra must have a new master plan, and it must cover everywhere, especially the central business district,” he noted.
“We must redevelop and modernise the Greater Accra Region, implement a sustainable decongestion strategy, revitalise the inner-city communities, invest in green areas, waste systems and efficient transport corridors, and create new planned urban centres to support population growth,” he said. “The capital city should reflect the aspirations of its people.”
“Ghana deserves a city that is clean, that is efficient, livable and globally competitive,” he stated.
The Ga Mantse further highlighted that Ghana is facing a housing deficit of over 1.8 million units.
He added, “Ghana is facing a housing deficit of over 1.8 million units. The lower and middle income groups, which are the backbone of our economy, struggle daily to find decent accommodation.”
“Government must partner with private developers in genuine public-private housing initiatives that are affordable, that are sustainable, well-located and built to modern standards,” the Ga Mantse said.
