APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF THE AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE IN THE PRU EAST CONSTITUENCY
The Parliamentary Candidate of NDC for the Pru East Constituency, Hon Emmanuel Boam has
earnestly appealed to the well-meaning Ghanaians, Philanthropists, the International Communities and Non Governmental Organization to extend a helping hand to fellow citizens who have been tragically impacted by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.
In an interview with the Correspondent the Ndc stalwart indicated that the recent spillage by the Volta Dam has brought about a devastating havoc that have been completely disrupting the lives of the communities and households along the Upper Volta Basin.
He said the most affected areas include Fante Akura, Vutideke, Jaklai, Attakuma, Tonka, Brekente, and other communities.
Reports according to him indicate that over two thousand (2,000) individuals, including children, nursing mothers and the elderly, have been rendered homeless and helpless.
He reiterated that the spillage has led to an unprecedented scenes of destruction in the Pru East Region. Homes have been submerged, livestock and properties washed away, and economic activities disrupted by the ensuing floods.
The Mp went on that sanitary conditions of these affected individuals are deteriorating rapidly, as toilets, waste bins, and refuse dumps are inundated whilst access to clean drinking water has become impossible thus creating a potential outbreak of diseases such as cholera to the affected victims.
He underscored that the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) is clearly lacking the necessary resources to provide adequate assistance and relief to these victims.
It is against this background hence we are humbly imploring the compassion and humanity of Ghanaians to come to the aid of our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, who have been experiencing the excruciating consequences of the spillage resulting from efforts to preserve a vital national asset like the Akosombo Hydroelectricity generation installation.
The NDC guru in the Pru East Constituency urgently calls on individual Ghanaians, philanthropists, captains of industries, NGOs, the business community, and the media (such as Joy News/FM, Citi TV/FM, UTV, Metro TV, TV3, GBC/GTV, Peace FM, TV XYZ, GhOne, Connectghananews.com and others) to use their platforms in mobilizing resources to alleviate the suffering of these unfortunate individuals.
Immediate relief items required include toiletries, drinking water, soft drinks, food items, mattresses, blankets, second-hand clothes, waste bins, plastic cups, bowls, buckets, mosquito nets, mosquito coils, sanitary pads, among others, he indicated.
