NPP blames government for recurring floods, demands urgent action
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) criticized the government on Monday, June 29, 2026, over recurring flooding in parts of Accra, accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration of failing to implement effective flood control measures. The party described the latest flooding as "a recurring June 3 moment," noting that communities including the N1 Highway, Apenkwa, Achimota, Kaneshie, Weija, Spintex, Darkuman Junction and the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange were inundated following heavy rains.
The NPP expressed sympathy to thousands of Ghanaians affected by the floods but stated the government's response has been inadequate. The party accused the government of creating confusion by dividing responsibility between the Ministry of Local Government and the Ministry of Works, Housing and Water Resources, alleging that these ministries are competing for authority. The NPP also questioned President John Dramani Mahama's decision to assign Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Dogbe to coordinate anti-flood interventions, arguing he lacks ministerial authority. The party further claimed that several anti-flood interventions announced by the government have either not been implemented or have been poorly executed, and alleged delays by the Ministry of Finance in releasing funds.
