It's your NDC. A government that does nothing. A country full of trash every where. Where is the enforcement of the law abiding principles. Gutters are full of trash. Buildings at wrong places, so where do you want the rain water to pass. It has no where therefore it has to come on the surface of the land. Ghana now, it's a disgrace b'cos common sense is even no longer common.
All everyone thinks is the self attitude and get rich quick and ignoring what needs to be down to enable our beautiful country to enjoy its benefit.
Mr President, the ball is your court now. Please intervene and provide the necessary funding to enable the speedy works in the affected area. And all the dear lost ones to be given a decent burial and to disinfect the place to avoid a break-up of any disease due to the rain water.
All buidings blocking water ways must be pulled down. All gutters must be cleared.
The law must work please people.
It's principles!!!! please people!!!!!!!!

The location of Accra and its surrounding topography makes it suitable for better than average rainfall. Within that context, I see a lot more rain in the foothills of the Aburi mountains.
For Akosombo dam to fill, the rainfall has to be heavy all the way up north where the tributaries are filled, so that they will in turn flow into the Volta River. That is what will sustain the dam.

DEAR READING PUBLIC OF GHANAWEB.COM,
IT IS SAID NOW AND AGAIN THAT "AN ACT OF GOD CANNOT BE BLAMED ON ANYBODY BUT SOME ACTS ARE HUMANLY CREATED AND THEREFORE CAN OR COULD BE BLAMED ON THOSE WHO CAUSED THE DISASTER ACT".
THAT IT IS ALSO A TRITE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOME PEOPLE ALSO TURNED THEMSELVES "WEATHER CRAFTERS AND CAN CAUSED ARTIFICIAL AND HUMANLY RELATED DISASTERS".
THAT IT IS BEYOND MY PERSONAL RELATED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT "HOW THE WEATHER CRAFTERS CLEARLY DIFFERENT FROM METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE WEATHER MEN/WOMEN WHO CLEARLY USED SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND EQUIPMENTS TO DETERMINE THE WEATHER".
HOWEVER, THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID ABOUT "THE WEATHER CRAFTERS AND WHICH POWERS THEY USED TO CRAFT THE WEATHER IS BEYOND MY PERSONAL COMPREHENSION".
IT IS THEREFORE VERY IMPORTANT AND IMPERATIVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCRA FLOODING AND FIRE DISASTER AT THE SAME TIME ARE NATURAL OR HUMANLY CREATED?
THAT AN OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ISSUE WILL CLEARLY HELPED US FIRST TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND SECONDLY TO FIND A LASTING SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS, THERETO.
THAT IT IS MY RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE SUBMISSION THAT THE TRUE WAY FORWARD TO FIND A LASTING SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEM TO BE "PULLING DOWN HOUSES AND BUILDINGS" BECAUSE THERE ARE ACUTE SHORTAGES OF HOUSING UNITS AND RATHER CALL FOR BUILDING OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, THERETO.
THAT SIGHT SHOULD NEVER ALSO BE LOST OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS THAT GUARANTEED FOR THE RIGHTS TO OWN PROPERTY AND THE HUGE FINANCIAL COMPENSATIONS THAT WILL BE INVOLVED IN SUCH RELATED EXERCISES, THERETO.
MOREOVER, SINCE THE 2016 ELECTIONS YEAR IS DRAWING NEAR SUCH EXERCISE WILL NOT SERVE THE BEST NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA.
THAT IT IS TIME TO TAKE A GENIUS LOOK AT SOME OF OUR TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS/MAGICO PRACTICES AND TO REFINED THEM TO SUIT THE 21ST CENTURY SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD VIEW.
HOWEVER, IT IS MY RESPECTFUL SUBMISSION THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT INTENDED TO UNDERMINE THE RIGHT AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION BUT TO IMPROVE UPON AND TO BRING ABOUT "THE BEST PRACTICES SYSTEM DELIVERY", THERETO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

THERE'S NO SINGLE EFFECTIVE UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN ACCRA, LET ALONE GHANA.
IN THIS 21ST CENTURY DAY AND AGE, GHANA CONTINUES TO CONSTRUCT DYSFUCTIONAL MOSQUITO-BREEDING OPEN SURFACE WATER DRAINAGE GUTTERS.
THIS COLONIAL INHERITED DYSFUNCTIONAL GUTTER DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS ALSO A "GARBAGE BIN" FOR ALL SORTS OF HUMAN WASTE, ABORTED FETUSES AND OTHER GARBAGE WHICH HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPREAD OF DISEASE.
STRANGELY, GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING "THE BEST AFRICAN MAYOR" - ACCRA MAYOR OKO VANDERPUIJE, TRAVEL TO PLACES LIKE DUBAI, EUROPE AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES TO SEE WHAT EXISTS THERE, BUT THEIR BRAINS APPEAR TO HAVE GONE INTO A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION, PREVENTING THEM FROM THINKING LIKE HUMANS.
IN OTHER WORDS, GHANA LEADERS DO NOT SEEM TO LEARN ANYTHING BETTER FROM THEIR NUMEROUS STATE-FUNDED OVERSEAS TTIPS.
KUFUOR HAS JUST RETURNED FROM ONE OF HIS NUMEROUS OVERSEAS TRIPS. WHAT DID HE LEARN? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

Very unfortunate and God help us all.
However, Insanity prevails in Ghana. This has been going on for generations, Nothing has been done. How do we expect different results when we have done nothing for so many years. And we should stop blaming this on people who clog the drainage system. Build bigger drainage system to accommodate what you see as the problem. The behavior of the people in government and the acceptance by the citizens is inexcusable. People should demand more from those they vote into power and that is the only way change will happen.
We will continue to pray for all the affected families.

How can we continue to spend the kind of money we spend without getting good services, and if we continue to ask accountability, how do you expect God to help you? Do you realize the West US UK our traditional colonial allies are proverbially silent on this disaster. They see how stupid we are especially our leaders and have left things to us to deal with.
