I am exceedingly grateful to H.E. John Mahama, our revered chiefs, our compassionate donors, distinguished guests, our hardworking construction workers, all volunteers and my beloved constituents for making yesterday’s commissioning of the North Tongu MP and Partners Safe Alternative Housing Initiative a resounding success.
May this beautiful project help my traumatized displaced constituents find smiles again.
I hope this model of 70% contribution from benevolent Ghanaians and 30% from the MP’s Office helps us to construct more of such modern, decent disability friendly buildings while creating jobs for hundreds of young people.
The spillage of an irrigation dam in Dawhenya near Prampram in the Greater Accra Region has displaced hundreds of residents in the area.
The flooding of their homes as a result of the spillage has destroyed properties and other personal effects of the people.
Some affected residents told Citi Newsthe water is at the window level of their houses and called for help from the government.
“The flooding started around 4 am today. It’s never gone down since then. It has affected several houses in my area. The water entered my house. I’ve not been able to go to work today because I had to pack out. If you see the water level, it keeps going up. When I enter my room, the water is at my knee level,” a resident who gave his name as Emmanuel Aryee said.
Although he noted that the irrigation project sometimes exceeds its banks, he insisted that today’s spillage “is very serious.”
