Ghana Floods: Government Blamed, Urgent Action Demanded

Ghana Floods: NPP Official Blames Government, Calls for Odaw River Dredging Accra, Ghana – Recurring floods in Ghana have once again caused widespread damage and disruption. Saaka Salia, a member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Team, has publicly criticized the government's response, placing partial blame on their inaction. In a recent video, Salia stated, "Part of the blame will go to my government actually. I don't see why we should only be dredging other rivers." He advocated for the dredging of the Odaw River as a crucial step in mitigating future flood risks. Salia's comments highlight the ongoing debate about the government's effectiveness in addressing the persistent flooding problem. The video has sparked discussions online about political responsibility and the urgent need for infrastructure improvements. While the government has yet to respond directly to Salia's accusations, the issue remains a pressing concern for many Ghanaians.
