Statement: Ketu South Member of Parliament Tours Flooded Areas in the Constituency

The Member of Parliament for the Ketu South constituency, Hon Abla Dzifa Gomashie, over the weekend, toured some flooded communities in the constituency.

Several communities have been flooded due to the heavy downpour over the past weeks, rendering hundreds of residents homeless and in some cases resulting in the closure of schools and churches.

The MP’s first point of call was the Viepe Electoral Area in Aflao,  Agbozume North and South Electoral areas in Agbozume, then to Dagbakope in the Kpoglu Electoral area in Klikor, where she sympathized with Mr Samuel Dagba whose abode was destroyed by a big tree uprooted by the storm.

Hon Abla Dzifa Gomashie then moved to Hatsukope primary school and its environs which have equally been affected by spillage from the Alorgui lagoon, making it impossible for students to cross over to school, alongside several residents who have been chased out of their homes by the merciless floods.

The MP concluded her tour in other affected communities behind the Diamond Cement factory and Ahiatakukope all in the Duta electoral area of Aflao, which were equally flooded due to the overflow of streams from the Republic of Togo.

In all, she empathized with the affected residents and urged the NPP Government through the ministries of Works and Housing, Gender, Children and Social Protection, Roads and Highways, as well as the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and Ketu South Municipal Assembly to assist the affected communities and proactively find a sustainable solution to the recurrent flooding menace.

Earlier, some food items were donated to some affected elderly people in Agbaweame.

The MP used the presence of the media to appeal to corporate Ghana, the media, philanthropists, Civil society Organizations and the general public to come to their aid.
