The government must declare Accra a DISASTER EMERGENCY for one week starting today!
Without delay, this is the time to activate all security agencies and emergency services in a well-coordinated full-scale rescue operation, emergency response and relief, while working with the Department of Urban Roads and the Ghana Highway Authority to ensure key access routes are made accessible in the midst of flooded roads across the city.
More lives should not be lost, and more properties should not be damaged before action is taken.
