The Member of Parliament (MP) for Asokwa, Madam Patricia Appiagyei has tasked the Engineering department of the Municipality to summon owners of houses in waterways in the constituency to present their permits to the Assembly today.
This directive follows her unannounced Friday morning tour of the constituency to ascertain the level of damage caused by the floods on Thursday.
Huge damages caused by the floods on some structures in the Asokwa extension area especially, could not, but raise suspicion of wrong permits or no permits at all for developments in that area.

The MP was accompanied by officials of the Engineering department of the Asokwa Municipal Assembly and others from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the respective Assembly members of the areas toured; Kaase, Old Asokwa, Asokwa Extension and Atonsu and some constituency executives of the ruling party.
The MP also toured the Agogo as well as the Atonsu markets to inspect the situation on the ground.
At the Agogo markets arena, Madam Appiagyei assured traders that before their relocation for a new structure to be built, their old structure would be put in good shape.
The MP called on the traders at the two markets to support the NPP as it plans and plots the development of the markets in the country.
Mama Pat as she is affectionately called also took the opportunity to visit some schools in her constituency.
At the New Bethel Presbyterian Primary JHS, Madam Appiagyei inspected new classroom blocks under construction.
