-- Increased rainfall in the Eastern area caused the Weija Dam to rise above 47 feet. An employee of the Dam explained that 4 of its 5 spillways had to be opened to release the pressure as a precaution, and said that's the only thing they can do with that excess water. They noted the irony of this water being wasted while other parts of Ghana are experiencing drought.
-- Hawking on the streets of Accra is one of the results of people flocking to the city looking for work and not finding any other opportunities. However, hawking has caused such traffic jams that they have imposed a ban over the past year to help traffic flow. Unfortunately, hawkers cannot afford the high price of renting a stall in the market and still end up on the streets.
-- Many of the main streets in Accra are now in the dark due to people stealing the street light cables and breakdowns due to weather, dust, and unreported crashes. Authorities lack funds to repair and address these issues for many reasons, including delays in their grant proposals and denials, and the thieves/hawkers trying to sell them back their stolen, stripped down cables.
