Elikplim Akurugu, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, has been touring several flood-prone communities in her constituency, revealing that she has become allergic to rain.
According to the Dome-Kwabenya MP, anytime it starts to rain, she begins to think of the people in flood-prone areas.
Elikplim Akurugue expressed sadness over the destruction caused by the floods,
She noted that although no lives were lost, many residents had suffered significant property damage.
The MP, however, attributed the flooding to human activities such as indiscriminate dumping of refuse into drains and the construction of buildings on waterways and drainage channels.
Speaking to the media during her tour of flooded areas in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency on Monday, 8th June, 2026, Elikplim Akurugu stated, “Now I have become so allergic to rain; anytime I hear rain, I just think of the people.
I have gone round, and I have seen what shouldn’t be as a community or a constituency. Thank God lives are not lost, but properties are lost, and you go to people’s homes, you just feel so sad”.
Reports suggest the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya toured the flood-prone communities in the constituency together with the Municipal Chief Executive for the Ga East Municipal Assembly, Edmund Agboh, and officials of the assembly to identify the causes of recent flooding and inspect structures obstructing waterways.
Elikplim Akurugu during her tour visited Christian Village, Sesemi, Abokobi Station, Falaku and the Pure Water area during her tour.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMeT) has warned Ghanaians of more rains across both coastal and inland areas in the coming days.
According to the GmeT, residents must be alert and stay away from flood-prone communities.
Joseph Tetteh Portuphy, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT, explains that further rains are expected.
He cautioned that places already saturated trigger flooding in vulnerable communities.
Speaking to Citi News, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT stated, “Over the coast and inland areas… but for us on the eastern coast, since it is a system that is passing, later in the day it will come down. Places are already flooded. Any little rain that comes again will flood the places. So we should be cautious and avoid places that are already saturated and already flooded”.
“We should also make sure that they stay tuned to the weather information. As I said, we are still in June. And until we get out of June, we should expect more of these rains to come,” he added.
Also, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, has shockingly claimed that she has tackled flooding in the Greater Accra Region.
Linda Ocloo, speaking in an interview with Asaase Radio, claimed that she had already tackled the Accra flooding long before the flooding began.
According to Linda Ocloo, she did a lot of demolition at the Ramsar site, which led to a lot of people hating him.
Speaking on Asaase Radio, Linda Ocloo stated, “I have tackled flooding within the Greater Accra Region. I tackled this way back before we started experiencing this flooding in Greater Accra.
I have also tackled issues about flooding, knowing very well that some of the buildings at Ramsar sites will be affected when it rains. I went on, and I did a lot of demolition, and you could see I have a lot of people who hate me because of this demolition exercise”.
