Poor leadership, weak planning fuelling Accra floods – Kojo Adu Asare
“Money can be given out, but it won’t solve the problem if we don’t commit it to a plan that will make things work,” he noted.

According to the former MP, the country’s flood challenges are also driven by the collective actions of citizens and the failure of leadership at various levels to enforce planning and environmental regulations.
