AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE: SWALLOW THE PRIDE AND DECLARE STATE OF EMERGENCY – NDC To Akufo Addo

“This is not the first time the dam has been opened for water to spill. We must ask how come in all the previous years that we have had cause to spill water, the effects have not been this devastating? There are questions that we should ask. Let us chase away the cat at the appropriate time, we will have to tame the mouse. We will have to find answers to serious questions,” he said.

He emphasised the importance of taking prompt measures to prevent such occurrences from happening in the country.

He also couldn’t understand why, despite suggestions, the government hadn’t declared a state of emergency.

Mr. Nketiah said if the government does not have enough resources to deal with the situation, it should “swallow its pride and call on the international community for emergency support.”

“We have as a nation, found reason to go and donate to other countries that have found themselves in crisis like this.”
