Accra, July 8, Ghanadot - This morning’s rainfall has damaged hundreds of properties and even misplaced people. In some parts of Accra where Ghanadot visited, areas such as Mataheko, South Odorkor, Dansoman SSNIT Flat and surrounding suburbs have experienced severe floods.

At the time of our visit, people could not get out from their rooms as the downpour has entered into their rooms and surroundings.

Children could be seen at the back of their parents crossing the flood to safer places. The situation was disturbing as business and schools in most areas are forced to send workers and children home because the rains were entering most the class rooms.

The President, John Evans Atta Mills, has charged the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) to be firm on the demolition of unauthorised buildings and structures on watercourses.

The exercise is expected to decongest the waterways to ensure free flow of rain water and to avoid floods in future.

President Mills has been touring some parts of the capital, Accra on Wednesday, that were heavily affected by the persistent flooding in the city to assess the extent of damage.

The inspection took him to First Light near Kaneshie, Sakaman, Chaba and other surrounding area.
