The firm enforcement of land-use control by the assembly boss left the Presiding Member and onlooker officials completely speechless during a heated site confrontation.

Hon. Ebi Bright explicitly stated that the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) had zero prior knowledge or administrative record of the project being executed on the public plot.

She raised major regulatory concerns, openly questioning whether the ongoing construction had passed any of the legally required structural, environmental, and spatial planning approval processes mandated by state law.

Under her administration, the TMA has heavily prioritised reclaiming and protecting public parks, green belts, and underutilised assembly spaces from aggressive developers.
