A full investigation into the flood brought on by the Akosombo Dam spill has been urged by the minority in Parliament.
They claim that the’man-made’ catastrophe was caused by the Vola River Authority (VRA). He also voiced disappointment with how the VRA was implementing its relief assistance for the populace.
After leading the minority leadership to inspect the affected communities on Friday, October 20, the minority leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, told the media, “We have Saglemi sitting idle; the government must ensure that they house the people of these 11 affected communities for this constituency properly. We are urging them to temporarily connect them to the Saglemi Housing project as a matter of urgency.
“We are disappointed in the Volta River Authority, we believe that their conduct has not been good enough, they have not engaged communities,” the member for Ajuamko Enyan Essiam continued, “and we in the NDC, particularly in Parliament, will investigate this matter.
“We kindly request that the Energy Committee begin the process of launching an investigation into this situation right away.
In addition to this, we think that the VRA has not taken any aggressive measures because, despite having caused this man-made calamity, donations are still trickling in. We encourage VRA to start as they are such a powerful institution and ought to be doing better than they are.
