Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for the Bawumia Campaign Team, has said the John Mahama government has no clear-cut roadmap to solve the Accra floods.
The NPP communicator disclosed that Mahama, who has been president before, experienced the most devastating flood disasters this country has seen in its history.
He argued that after the June 3 disaster, Mahama set up a committee, indicating that he was re-engineering Accra, but nothing happened.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Monday, Dennis Miracles Aboagye explained, “A country entrusts its resources, freedoms, and rights to a select few so that they can guide the people and lead them towards prosperity, growth, and safety”.
“So when the leaders we have given that responsibility are merely lamenting to us, it becomes a serious problem.”
“They have failed to tell the people of this country what their roadmap is in solving flooding in Accra. A clear-cut roadmap. We are in a hopeless situation. This government should not pretend as if they just came into office and all of a sudden they are realising how Accra is,” he stated.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye added, “Our president has been president before. In fact, one of the most devastating flood disasters this country has seen in its history happened under his presidency during his first term”.
“His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, immediately after the June 3 disaster, set up a committee. In fact, he indicated that he was re-engineering Accra. What happened?” he asked.
He further added, “One of the reasons why a lot of Ghanaians went to vote for His Excellency John Dramani Mahama was because they felt that he would have learned something from the experience he had in the past”.
Eight years in opposition, you come into office with experience. In fact, His Excellency said during the campaign period that we want experience. It was one of his mantras, and a lot of people bought into it.
People were very hopeful. A 1.7 million vote difference speaks a lot. It is a huge mandate”, he observed.
“A president that some people believed in and voted for on the back of your experience, you spend one and a half years out of your few years in office identifying hotspots. That is where the problem is”, he said.
“Tell the people what your roadmap is in ensuring that, moving forward, when it rains for 30 minutes, they will be able to get to their homes. That’s what they want to hear”, he stressed.
Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong, a former Assin Central Member of Parliament, has broken his silence concerning the flooding situation in Ghana, particularly in Accra.
According to Ken Agyapong, Ghana has been flooding since before independence, with 3,000 dead, 700,000 displaced, and $1 billion lost, not due to hurricanes or tsunamis.
He argued that the rains didn’t fail Ghana but Ghana failed itself.
In a post on X, Ken Agyapong wrote, “Ghana has been flooding since before independence.
3,000 dead. 700,000 displaced. $1 billion lost.
Not from hurricanes. Not from tsunamis.
From the gutters, we blocked ourselves. From waterways we built on. From warnings we ignored.
The rain didn’t fail us. We failed ourselves”.
Santa Maria Antieku is heavily flooded right now following the rains.
