Although 21,268 stumps were identified, three stumps on the Yeji-Mankango route were left due to religious reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of stump removal varied across the years and regions. In 2019, GH\u20b59.6 million was spent to remove 3,550 stumps from the Yeji-Mankango waterway.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17534\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/udawalwe-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/udawalwe-12.jpg 700w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/udawalwe-12-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/udawalwe-12-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the removal of 4,723 stumps from Yeji-Awujakope cost GH\u20b511.5 million. In the year 2021, GH\u20b520 million was spent to clear 10,499 stumps from the Dambai-Njare stretch.<\/p>\n<p>The Bridge Ano-Ntoaboma crossing saw 1,179 stumps removed at a cost of GH\u20b513.1 million in 2022. The highest expenditure came in 2023, with GH\u20b533.4 million spent to remove 1,317 stumps from the Agordeke area.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the Auditor General&#8217;s report expressed concerns over the value for money, pointing out that some tree stumps remain in critical areas, posing a threat to commuters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;GMA had not removed tree stumps impeding the safety of navigation on the inland waterways; hence, commuters are at risk of losing their lives or goods from tree stumps yet to be removed,&#8221; the report noted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17535\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tree-stump-1-696x398-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tree-stump-1-696x398-1.jpg 696w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tree-stump-1-696x398-1-250x143.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tree-stump-1-696x398-1-600x343.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Auditor General recommended that the GMA expedite further assessments of the Volta Lake to ensure complete stump removal and improve navigational safety.<\/p>\n<p>Many commuters, particularly those using traditional watercraft, remain vulnerable due to the existence of tree stumps and the lack of advanced navigation technology.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17536\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lake.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lake.png 662w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lake-250x98.png 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lake-600x236.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more stories, reach ExpressNewsGhana via email at expressnewsgh@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +233 0543 900 732.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba \/\/ ExpressNewsGhana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) has spent GH\u20b587.6 million to remove tree stumps from the Volta Lake, the country&#8217;s largest inland waterway.
