The Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church of Ghana, Apostle Abraham Amoh, has praised the President, Mr John Dramani Mahama, for agreeing to relocate the nation’s capital to another yet-to-be-cited place.
He therefore appealed to the President not to politicize the relocation issue, but rather to follow due process and bring Parliament on board to ensure that the right thing was done for the good of the nation.
Announcement

Speaking to the media in Accra on Monday, Apostle Amoh explained that until the relocation was done, no amount of effort could control the flooding situation in Accra since attitudinal change was a major critical factor.

He indicated that the new national capital, if properly done, would reduce pressure on the current infrastructure in Accra, which compel some people to build on waterways, dispose of refuse into drains, among other reasons.
Again, the Chairman of the Church stated that now that those who issued permits for people to build in waterways are still at post without any punishment, no amount of demolition in such areas will help curb the menace.
Prosecute MMDCE’s
Apostle Amoh appealed to Parliament to enact a law that will ensure that any Municipal, Metropolitan and District Chief Executives who approve any such waterlogged area for redevelopment should be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.
He suggested that the Suhum to Asamankese stretch and the stretch of land from Suhum to Koforidua were the areas which should be considered as the location for the new national capital.
This, he attributed to the topography of the area, which will be free from flooding, availability of large acreage of land for building of selected ministries, industries and residency, coupled with the right infrastructure that fits a national capital.
Background
The issue of relocating the national capital has become a common statement by Presidents of Ghana anytime the current capital experiences flooding.
It is based on one such statements that the current President also said the same after flying across the city to ascertain the state of damage caused by the recent flood in Accra and other parts of the country.
