Declare a state of emergency if more rain is expected - Bawumia tells gov't
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia called on the government to consider declaring a state of emergency on Tuesday, June 30, during a visit to communities in the Greater Accra Region affected by Monday's floods. He stated, "What is worrying for me is the forecast of even more rain to come. If more rain is expected, I believe the government should also consider declaring a state of emergency so that we deal with this in that particular form."
Dr. Bawumia urged a national, non-partisan response to the flooding, advocating for the mobilization of engineers, hydrologists, disaster management experts, and other professionals to develop immediate and long-term solutions. He also appealed for immediate humanitarian assistance for victims, noting that many families had lost their homes and possessions. He pledged to personally contribute relief items and encouraged individuals, corporate organizations, and communities to assist those displaced.
