Mallam residents, businesses welcome intensified flood prevention efforts by Julius Debrah

Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff has set up a flood taskforce to help with the situation The renewed intervention by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah and the government’s Flooding Taskforce at Mallam Junction is beginning to generate relief among residents, motorists and businesses operating around the flood-prone area, following intensified efforts to tackle the landfill and drainage challenges that have contributed to flooding in the community.

The current intervention offers renewed hope that sustained government action, local-assembly support and private-sector cooperation can finally change that situation.

For now, the renewed presence of the taskforce and the movement of men and resources to the Mallam landfill site are being viewed locally as a welcome development and residents say they appreciate President John Dramani Mahama’s government, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah and the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly for giving the problem renewed attention.
