An exercise has begun to relocate victims of the Appiatse explosion disaster.
The victims affected by the exercise are currently moving into a temporal facility.
The exercise is meant to protect them from the torrential rains which recently destroyed tents constructed for them.
Mr Benito Owusu-Bio, Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources said five more structures have been added to the initial 32, bringing the numbers to a total of 37 structures.
According to him, these structures have all been completely refurbished with roofing, doors and windows, with carpets laid in each room to shelter all the displaced people of Appiatse temporarily.
Addressing the Media on his unannounced visit to Appiatse on 2nd May 2022, Mr Owusu-Bio disclosed that 800 victims of 125 households are being moved into the completed rooms.
He added that the official relocation day of the people from the tents to the completed buildings remains on 4th May, 2022.
“our visit here today was just to ensure that all the necessary arrangements are put in place for a smooth transition on 4th May, 2022 on which we will come with the Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor to officially hand over the buildings to the people. I’m happy with what I’ve seen today, most of them have moved in and gradually we hope that all will move in before we return on Wednesday,” he said.
