The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has stated that the government does not currently consider it necessary to declare a state of emergency in Ketu South, despite the severe flooding that has displaced hundreds of residents.
He maintained that while the situation is dire, the focus should be on implementing long-term protective measures rather than making an emergency declaration.
His remarks follow a visit by President John Dramani Mahama and key government ministers to the Ketu South Constituency, where communities such as Salakope, Amutinu, and Agavedzi have been severely affected by the floods.
The visit was aimed at assessing the damage and determining appropriate interventions to support affected residents.
