Clearly, a major flood disaster is looming large upon us, and the impact may be very catastrophic for the people of Accra; if urgent action is not taken. The Mahama government consistently undertook annual de-silting of the Odaw and Korle in order to minimize the rate, and mitigate the effect of flooding in Accra. President Akufo-Addo must wake up and act now before more lives are lost in the coming days.
