The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa, is enraged about recent comments by Sanitation Minister Freda Prempeh that residents of Mepe refused to relocate after several warnings by the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO).
At a forum organized by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in Accra, Madam Prempeh blamed residents in the Lower Volta area for failing to move to higher ground as advised.
The minister indicated that residents in the affected areas were given extensive education prior to the Akosombo Dam spillage, which was ignored and has now resulted in the catastrophic outcome we have on our hands.
Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa reacted angrily to the comment, saying that the affected people should be treated with respect.
