Accra flooding is self-inflicted and avoidable - CPP urges immediate government action
The Convention People's Party (CPP) expressed sadness over the havoc caused by heavy downpour in Accra on Monday, June 29, 2026, describing the flooding as a "self-inflicted" disaster that could have been prevented. The party criticized successive governments for failing to address indiscriminate building on waterways and the dumping of garbage into drainage systems. The CPP noted that what should have been a blessing for agriculture has instead turned into a disaster, claiming lives and destroying millions of cedis worth of property, with more rain expected.
The CPP called on the government to immediately deploy the Ghana Navy, all available speedboats, and the Blue Water Guards to help rescue and protect lives and property. They urged Minister of Energy John Jinapor to direct the immediate cutting of electricity supply to all flooded areas where water has reached electrical poles and installations to prevent possible electrocution. The party called for a coordinated "all-hands-on-deck" approach involving security agencies and experts, and appealed to all Ghanaians to remain calm, vigilant, and avoid flood-prone areas.
