Victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage plan a massive protest

“In three weeks, if we do not hear anything from the government, we are going to stage a demonstration, and we will be marching all the way from Sogakope, the district capital of South Tongu, to Sege to let the whole world know how the government does not care about us.

Another victim stated that, “six months ago now, we have not heard anything from the government, and we do not know their plans for us.

Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, revealed that he obtained documents from ECOWAS, which indicated that the regional body approved a grant of $200,000 to the Government of Ghana to support flood victims.

He added that the lack of response from the government has left many concerned.

If the government gives me that GH₵2.6 million from ECOWAS, I can build another house to host three million people, so where is that money?

“The question I ask is: what other organization out there has our government applied to that we do not know, because if I had not intercepted those documents within ECOWAS, I would not have known.

“They had already applied to ECOWAS and received a response from ECOWAS
