'Clear the debris now' – Ackuaku warns ramsar sites are fueling floods

According to him, the debris occupies valuable drainage space, preventing the free flow of stormwater during heavy rains and contributing to recurring floods.“When it rains, because of the debris, the water does not get a place to flow through, and in the end it causes flooding,” he explained.
