The Ashanti Region GREDA president, Frank Aboagye Danyansah, has suggested that Former the victims of Akosombo Dam spillage should be relocated to Saglemi Housing project since they are now homeless.
“Government should act now! People are dying and disease outbreak stairs Ghana in the face” he added
He said, NPP government is not ready to complete the said project, hence former president should acts quickly and help the victims to relocate to that place.
According to him, it is unfathomable that government will simply want to push such a proposal when there are many Ghanaians without a decent place to lay their heads.
This comes after over 4,000 residents in Ghana’s southeastern region have been forced to abandon their homes due to widespread flooding.
This crisis has been triggered by the overflowing of the Akosombo Dam, resulting in the devastating destruction of homes and farmlands along the banks of the River Volta.
The deluge has led to the disruption of essential services, leaving some areas without access to water and electricity. The Ghanaian government, in an official statement on Friday, confirmed that thousands of people in at least nine districts have been displaced as a direct consequence of the flooding.
Prior to the inundation, the Volta River Authority had issued advisories urging residents to relocate to higher ground. This recommendation came in response to the rising water levels upstream of the Akosombo Dam, primarily driven by heavy rainfall in the region.
