The Member of Parliament (MP) for the North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has urged the Volta River Authority (VRA) to slow down the spillage of the Akosombo dam to allow for the safe evacuation of residents.
The spillage of the dam has caused widespread flooding in the Tongu districts, displacing thousands of people and destroying homes and businesses.
The VRA in September cautioned residents downstream of the Akosombo and Kpong dams to be; alert and take precautionary measures following a controlled spillage in the coming days.
This was due to the consistent rise in the water level of the two dams as a result of the continuous rains recently.
