Volta NDC condemns Freda Prempeh’s comments on Akosombo Dam’s spillage

VOLTA NDC CONDEMNS FREDA PREMPEH’S INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ON THE LOWER VOLTA FLOOD SITUATION

The NDC in the Volta Region stands in staunch opposition and joins the many reasonable voices to strongly condemn the appalling comments made by the Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Madam Freda Prempeh, which purport to blame the victims of the recent man-made flood disaster for their dire circumstances.

In the wake of this catastrophic flood disaster that has left countless families displaced and in distress, we expect all well-meaning individuals to deem it a time for sobriety, unity, empathy, and deliberate constructive rescue actions

The victims of this flood disaster, who are also Ghanaians, deserve our support, assistance, and compassion, not accusation or condemnation or blame

We call upon Madam Freda Prempeh to retract her insensitive comments and issue a formal apology to the flood victims and their families

We also want to inform the NPP Government that Volta NDC would hold them to the fire of accountability by making sure that they fully compensate all the flood victims who, by no fault of theirs, are enduring the devastating consequences of the recent unplanned spillages so other Ghanaians can have a reliable supply of electricity while saving the Akosombo and Kpong hydroelectricity installations.

We stand in solidarity with the flood victims and their communities, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that they receive the support and aid they so desperately need.
