People's Forum: Baba Dongo, Bortianor residents appeal for a storm drain - Adomonline.com

Residents of Baba Dongo and Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra region are appealing for a storm drain ahead of the raining season.

According to them, they have battled with perennial flooding which has reportedly claimed many lives for the past 20 years.

This development, the residents claim have been rampant and they believe the only solution is for government to construct a storm drain to avert a recur.

Aside the loss of lives, residents have also lost property worth millions of Ghana cedis to floods.

“We have nowhere to go that is why we are appealing to government to build a storm drain in the area,” some residents told Dwaso Nsem co-host, Kwesi Asempa.

She indicated that, over the years, they have put in place temporary measures to minimise the impact of flooding ahead of the rainy season.

Nana Yaa said although a permanent solution would be very capital intensive, the government would have to find the money to save lives.
