The Kasoa Municipal Fire Command has declared that an inquiry would be launched to investigate the reason for the collapse of a health institution under construction in the Ga South Municipality town of Assemblies.
One individual died as a consequence of the event, while four others suffered serious leg fractures.
According to eyewitnesses, the building caved shortly after the rains began.
Some people expressed worry about the quality of the materials used in the building, claiming that this may have had a role in the collapse.
DO3 Mercel Kwami Avadu, Municipal Fire Commander in Kasoa, told Citi News that the investigations will begin shortly.
“It may appear that inferior materials were used, as we can all see when we touch the building, it feels like it is made of scrap. However, this does not necessarily mean that inferior materials were used. We need to conduct further investigations to determine if this is indeed the case and to find out if the engineer is qualified and has followed the proper procedures for constructing the building. These factors will need to be considered in order to determine whether shoddy work was done or whether the right thing was done,” the Municipal Fire Commander in Kasoa said.
