Justice Yeboah, President of the Progressive Youth Federation Ghana, proposed a series of measures aimed at addressing persistent flooding in parts of Accra during the rainy season. He stated, "Accra itself is a flood-prone area. Most of the water from the Akuapem Range ends up in the city, and because many natural streams have been turned into gutters, the drainage system struggles to contain the volume of water, resulting in perennial flooding."
Yeboah suggested introducing a national policy on rainwater harvesting for households in the capital and encouraging the planting of grass along drainage systems.
