Chairman of the Akosombo Dam Spillage Committee, Kirk Koffi, has urged the government to conduct a comprehensive audit to ascertain the damage caused by the spillage in 2023, which displaced over 40,000 people at Mepe in the Volta Region and use it as a guide to compensate victims.
Speaking in an interview with TV3 on May 11, 2025, Koffi outlined the recommendations of the committee intended to prevent a recurrence of the disaster.
He indicated that the issue of compensation came up strongly during their discourse with indigenes and community heads.
The committee has consequently called for a detailed audit to assess the widespread destruction caused to guide the compensation plan. "During the committee's discussion with people in the affected communities, the issue of compensation was vehemently reiterated.
