The pillars holding the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) are currently weak, the Minister-designate for Foreign Affairs, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, has revealed.
She made this known during her vetting by on Thursday, February 11, 2021, by Parliament’s Appointments Committee.
She noted that structural engineers have thus recommended the shutdown of the Centre to avert any potential national disaster.
“Recommendations given by structural engineers indicate that the structure is in very bad shape,” Ms Ayorkor Botchwey said, as quoted by the GNA.
“A visit to the basement showed that a lot of the pillars holding the building are very weak. It is located in a waterlogged area and so the engineers at that time used a technology that loaded boulders at the place, but we’re taking steps to close it and fix the problem.”
