Mr Jerry Ahmed Shaib, Member of Parliament for Weija Gbawe, has raised concerns about the recurring flooding issue in Accra, emphasising its devastating impact on residents and the economy.
He attributes the problem to inadequate drainage systems and notes that current measures are insufficient to address the root cause.
Flooding has become an annual occurrence in Greater Accra, posing significant threats to public safety and economic stability.
Speaking during the presentation of a statement on the issue in Parliament, the Second Deputy Minority Whip urges fellow lawmakers to take immediate action to mitigate the effects of flooding and prevent future occurrences.
Madam Comfort Doyoo Ghansah, Member of Parliament for Ada constituency, echoes Shaib’s concerns, highlighting the need for urgent action.
She cites the Netherlands as an example of effective flood management, where water bodies are utilised for recreational and tourist purposes.
