Accra Flooding is due to the dirty politics we've been practicing since independence. all lands in Ghana shd have been nationalised to allow for good planning. Moscow sits on over 125 rivers but they've managed to put many of the rivers in tunnels underground to build a beautiful city that internationally is recognised. We knew Accra is sitting at the foot of the Akwapim range but look at how reckless we are building in Accra city.We were lucky it did not rain heavily in Aburi Akwapim and other areas on the mountains today.

Rev. Ntim Fordjour wants Accra declared a disaster emergency zone. The floods were devastating, no doubt. But was this a measured policy prescription—or simply the opposition's golden opportunity to turn rising floodwaters into rising political capital?
When disaster strikes, every politician suddenly becomes an emergency manager. The government scrambles to respond; the opposition scrambles to condemn. In Ghana's political playbook, even floodwaters seem to flow through partisan channels.

The real emergency isn't just the flooding—it's our habit of turning every national crisis into a political contest. Accra needs drainage, relief and long-term planning, not another round of headline-grabbing politics masquerading as solutions.

If you'd like, I can also make it sharper, more biting, and tabloid-style for a newspaper commentary column.

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. Who does that? And sadly, he has a lot of support from the suffering Ghanaians. So funny a pple.

Accra basically is an unplanned city. We are going to have this flood problem every year. Move the capital from Accra to the middle belt and build a modern capital city where every Ghanaian from every location can access the capital easily. Nigerians were experiencing some problems and move their capital to the center of Nigeria, the place was totally a forest but look at what they have been able to do - Abuja. The Germans have move their capital more than three times. Accra is chocked and is sitting on a time bomb. This Accra issue should not have any political colors. Let’s plan and build a new national capital with better roads infrastructure. Accra can remain a business capital. After all the capital was in Cape Coast and was move to it present place, so it can be move again. Let’s engage in a constructive criticism for the betterment of mother Ghana.

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.

Divide the flood areas into zones . Assign zones to the universities departments involved in construction and give to final year students as project work and allocate some funds to the students
After identifying the causes assign the students as project to suggest construction of remedial measures
Take away the political big firms out
Name students involved in the whole projects must be displayed and they should give a life span. This will offer ready employment to some of ur youth who will be proud to talk about such work from their brains after 30 to 40!years time
