Ghanaians should be partly blamed for the recent floods that have destroyed so many properties and killed many others. So many people have been rendered homeless.
It should be understood that the Government cannot be blamed for all natural disasters. How many people read and looked at the recent flooding in Uncle Sam’s country? It was just unimaginable and unbelievable. Many houses were fully covered by the flood waters and the Military, Police, and Fire Services had to use Outboard Motor Vehicles to move through the many flooded areas to rescue people. I don’t know what what would have happened if this took place in Ghana. And do our Security Forces and services have such water moving vehicles? Hahahaha. And how many Ghanaians even know how to swim? Hahahaha. I know the Forest people of Akyem, Bono, and Ahafo people will climb to the highest parts of very big trees. What about the Fante and the Ga and Anlo Ewe people? That would have been catastrophic.

Yes Prince you are right. Ghana sitting without a vice President very pity. Mr. Digital will soon come to show the diffirences. NDC is always using the flood victims to their sacrifices and they are happy when people die. Rawlings and NDC never built a huge town drainage before, Only John Agyakum Kuffour under NPP Regime Built The Longers Canal From Madina, 37 Military Hospital Side Via Mamobi Nima to accra Kwame Nkrumah circle To Ordour River Canal. But The Government cannot mentain it. Full of sand and rubbishes.

Tell Mahama to attend to such issues instead of of Globetrotting the World for useless issues. With all the decades that Asiedu Nketsia has been in Government, what has he been able to do for Ghana, except manufacturing Building Blocks at inflated prices to Ghana? And Konadu was spending the money of Ghana in the useless 31St December Women’s nonsense. Now that she is dead and gone just as her murderous husband, let us see what will become of the 31 December Useless Nonsense.

Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE. Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

From: Concern Citizen

To: Ministry of Works and Housing / Accra Metropolitan AssemblyAccra, Ghana

Subject: Urgent Need for Real Solutions to Accra’s Flooding

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to share my deep sympathy for everyone in Accra who suffers whenever it rains. Seeing our fellow citizens lose their homes, businesses, and peace of mind to constant flooding is truly heartbreaking. While I know some efforts have been made, the fact that Accra still floods during every heavy downpour shows we need a new approach. I urge the government to fix this permanently by clearing blocked drains, expanding our waterways, and enforcing better city planning. Our people deserve to feel safe in their own homes when it rains. I hope your office will provide immediate relief to those currently affected and prioritize real, long-term engineering solutions.

Sincerely,

Sammy Yooma, Maryland - USA

Citizen, flooding in Accra is perennial (not only 10 years) i.e has been happening every year since we could remember. For instance, in the 70s, most areas in Accra were uninhabited, because the population was not that much and also those places were water-locked and not suitable for habitation. But today, every piece of land in Accra is occupied !!

So the situation is getting worse with every added year because more people are attempting to 'cheat' nature by building on low lands and in valleys. Apart from that, the gutters are choked with filth, leaving no space at all for to flow. .......

Is this the first-time flood is occurring in Accra? Did flood occur when NDC and Mahama was in power from 2012-16, and why didn't they stop it? Those insulting are nothing but fools who have nothing to contribute.

When Mahama came to power, he cancelled Zoomlion contract and where should be people dump their garbage, in his mouth? When stupidity urges us to take decision not based on deep thought but partisan politics, these are some to the results we see. People are force to dump their garbage into gutters etc because no one come to collect them.

Can you fight with nature when you deliberately fail to comply with basic environmental rules?
There is something fundamentally wrong with Africans. Despite the devastating floods ghanaians continue to throw rubbish in gutters. Are we really normal human beings?
Africans? We have a long way to go!!!
Yes, nature is punishing Ghanaians very well and they deserve it.

Dr Bawumia, you have earned my respect for your review on this difficult unprecedented natural water disaster that has hit our beloved capital and nationwide. We have never seen anything this level like the recent few days of very heavy long hours of rain downpour. I respect your review on the situation and excellent ad i e given to follow the government and relief effort guidelines. Since knowing you and My beautiful gorgeous sister Samira from 2012. This is one of you greatest best in my opinion. Its non political,no blame game and you raise the bar that all from both sides should try to stay united and surely we shall all get through this together. That was powerful and dope! And politician who turns this flooding into a political game should be shot by firi g squad.its about time we all u ite to support each other

In the last 15 years, major World Bank financing, largely loans to Ghana, meant to improve Greater Accra’s flood resilience, sanitation and related urban systems totals approximately US$655m:

1. 2013: Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) Sanitation and Water Project- US$150m

2. 2019: Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project-US$200m

3. 2020: GAMA Sanitation and Water Project Additional Financing -US$125m

4. 2023: GARID – Additional Financing-US$150m

5. 2024: GAMA Sanitation and Water Project – Second Additional Financing-US$30m

This is the right time for equity audit so we can get the stolen monies back.

“A lion counts the hunt by meat on the ground, not by the roar in the forest.”- Akuapim Proverb!
They stole all these monies and the Finance Minister at the time has shamefully sought his way out into a permanent residency of another country so he doesn't have to come to Ghana for probity and accountability. And sadly, he has a lot of support from the suffering Ghanaians. So funny a people.

We the indigenous people of Accra gladly encourage all the tribes in Ghana to relocate to Accra permanently. We also encourage them to build permanent structures in every part of Accra they desire, like the waterways, on the lakes , Rivers, on the drainage systems etc. They can turn the street and drainage into their personal dumpsters. After all that, they should continue insulting us that we stupidly sold all our lands at cheap prices. They shouldn't worry we have more lands on the seashore. We love you all. We Are Ga's. God bless you all.

Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE. Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.
