Storm rips
off roofs of schools, hospital structures
Ho, May 1, Ghanadot/GNA - A rainstorm last Thursday ripped
off the roofs of the RC Primary school building, canteen and
some structures of the district hospital at Nkwanta in the
Volta Region.
The hospital structures include the offices of the District
Director of Health, laboratory and some nurses' quarters.
Twenty other individual houses in some suburbs of the town
were also affected.
Mr. Bernard Mensah, Nkwanta District Coordinator of the
National
Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) told the Ghana News
Agency (GNA) on telephone that some quick repair works
needed to be done on the school block else pupils will be
without classrooms when school reopens next week.
He said he had been out with the District Chief Executive (DCE)
to console victims while they waited for relief items.
Mr Mensah said effect of the storm might be due to poor work
since the building was put up recently.
He called for more stringent processes of job inspection to
avoid unwarranted additional cost on repairs to fairly new
public buildings and projects.
Mr Mensah said the most affected individual was Joseph
Kwadzo Anakwah whose 15-room house had the roofs completely
ripped.
