The Tongu Flood Victims Association (TFVA) has called on President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to ensure transparency and fairness in the disbursement of the recently announced compensation packages for victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage disaster.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, May 4, 2025, Chairman and Spokesperson of the Association, Godson DeGaulle Hlordzi, on behalf of the Association accused some local authorities and state actors of corruption and mismanagement in the distribution of previous relief items and fund donations.
The conference, held in Mepe in the North Tongu District, gathered members of the media to draw national attention to long-standing concerns over how support for flood affected victims has been handled.
Hlordzi began by thanking President Mahama and the NDC government for allocating GH₵220 million to support flood-affected communities, noting that it was the first time a sitting government had shown such commitment to the people of Tongu, particularly those along the Lower Volta Basin.
