Monday’s downpour left several suburbs of Accra flooded whilst also disrupting traffic flow. Homes were taken by runoff water in areas like Asylum Down, Shiashie and Haatso, which were among the hardest hit. Accra has experienced several floods almost after every downpour, and the government has been accused of doing very little to address the problem. The funds are to be used for desilting, excavation and construction works under the National Emergency Flood Control Works.
