WHAT HAPPENED TO THE THOUSANDS OF THOSE “DRILL”
EQUIPMENTS AKUFF-ADDO IMPORTED INTO GHANA?

TELL JOHN BENTUA MAHAMA THAT WE DON’T WISH PROBLEMS AWAY, AND THAT WE SOLVE THEM . JOHN MAHAMA SHOULD HAVE USED THOSE NUMEROUS DRILL EQUIPMENTS AKUFFO-ADDO IMPORTED INTO GHANA TO DREDGE THOSE CHOCKED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND CREATE MORE WATER PASSAGES IN ACCRA.

INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO LET THE EQUIPMENTS SIT IDLE AND ROT, OR TO USE OTHERS TO START THE KUMASI - ACCRA HIGHWAY WITHOUT TELLING GHANAIANS THAT THE AKUFFO-ADDO ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE GIVEN SOME CREDIT FOR THE PROGRAM!
WHAT A STINKY SELF CENTERED AND POLITICALLY INCLINED ADMINISTRATION!

Shame on you NDC incompetent administration paid commentators. Look at how the Akuffo-Addo administration managed the COVID-19 crisis. Look at how the NPP brought so many equipments to tackle these drainage and poor roads problems bedeviling our country through the DRILL program.

What has the incompetent Mahama administration done in the past two years since they took over? John Cribo Mahama and his bunch of “Alibaba and the 40 thieves” are well aware of the perennial flooding that’s been wrecking havoc in Accra and other low lying places along the coastal belts in Ghana for many years, yet the “badluck” Nkomfem and the Nkokonkentenkete administration decided to just wish the problem away just like that without implementing any tangible measures to mitigate the problem, by adopting a stupid mentality of —“it won’t happen again and that the problem would solve itself despite the fact that it was under this very administration that the Kwame Circle flood took place in 3rd June 2015. Yet you people didn’t think about dredging the Lagoons and created more water passage ways in the city to mitigate the situation in case the unthinkable situation like this happens.

And here you another lose guy called Rex Omar or whatever berating and suppressing divergent opinions? You know what? I won’t insult you today, even I have to, but I will give the benefit of the doubt. Next time you see

This is not the first time Accra and other cities in many parts of Ghana have flooded. The previous governments solicited funds to support local engineers to reconstruct and rebuild the canalisation structures in the capital of Ghana. No written documentation had been done regarding how much money was invested for the reconstruction and canals bridges in Accra. Nothing was done. Today, its the flooding again? What will be the current government solution?

We are not serious as a nation. Why is prez Mahama taking an aerial view of the situation. Does he want to tell us that he doesn't know the problem. The rhetorics is too much. What kind of system are we putting in place to deal with people who build in our waterways and those who throw rubbish into gutters and streets. What kind of sanitation system do we have in place . Why are the gutters choked.I'm told Zoomlion is no longer in place. That's not my issue but what's the alternative to manage waste in the country. We need to install cameras , dedicate people to monitor waste disposal in our streets and gutters and to deal ruthlessly with perpetrators. The impunity is too much and we need to crack the whip

Any citizen caught stealing or looting during this unprecedented rainfall that has caused flooding we have never witnessed for decades should be arrested and given 3 times the required maximum sentence that the law states. People shouldnt take advantage of such natural disasters that has destroyed business, homes, road networks and loss of life and livestock. We as a country cant at the moment give an estimate of damage caused and lives lost till months to come.

It was shocking to watch more NADMA rescue staff who were sent to flooded areas to help with rescue efforts from affected houses. The rescue boats contained more NADMO staff than the persons in the households who needed rescuing. Their efforts was a total joke. Why send rescue staff who cant swim into fast flowing flooded areas to rescue. Nadmo needs some reorganisation. May l ask if the head of nadmo is a good swimmer and holds a lifeguard certificate. No one knows the disasters that befall our nation. We should have very fit staff to work as rescue workers. Not just as a job for political party foot soldiers. We should have staff who are good hikers, mountain climbers, abseilers, swimmers, physically fit persons. And nadmo should have monthly rescue drills in all scenerios to prepare the entire team . The coordinators shoulder be great roll models in their fields of rescuing and efficient at delegating the personal to the right areas of assistance.

What happened to the nearly 2 billion dollars of funding sourced to improve the drainage system in accra only by the kuffuor, Atta mills, Mahama, Akuffo Addo regimes. Cant thos parliament commission an independent investigation team to find out how monies sourced since Kuffuor to the present regime was spent on improving the drainage system in accra. Because according to reports it was only money for accra not the entire ghana. Lets do it before any of those presidents still alive kuffuor, akuffo addo and mahama can have their chance to explain to ghanaians. Any government appointee alive who is proved guilty , ministers , contractors, family and friends who benefited from the source money should be sent to teshie military range as a deterant. Enough of ghana (accra)suffering damaging floods years after independence.

What modality would the announced fund going to shared. Is a data on all the victims. Mind you the flood is not only in Accra. Some Central region, some eastern region, some western region.

All must be inclusive.
