NADMO must prioritise flood prevention over sharing of rice and mattresses - Adomako Kissi
Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi, former Member of Parliament for Anyaa-Sowutuom, called on the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to prioritise flood prevention over the distribution of relief items. He stated on Channel One TV that "NADMO's equipment levels are low, and it's not an NDC government issue. Over the years, NADMO has not been well equipped. The Ghanaian NADMO, which is a disaster management authority, has largely been focused on giving out rice and mattresses, and I really think that the focus needs to change."
His comments followed heavy rains that caused widespread flooding in parts of the Greater Accra Region, resulting in fatalities, displacement of residents, submerged homes and businesses, and a fire outbreak at Odawna. Dr Adomako Kissi argued that disaster prevention, which is part of NADMO's mandate, should receive the same attention as emergency response and relief distribution, with increased investment in engineering expertise and flood mitigation measures. He also expressed concern about worsening traffic congestion caused by flooding.
