Today, 9th November 2023, I write constructively to add my voice to the discussion that was held at the Main House of Parliament concerning Akosombo Dam Spillage. First, I would like to thank Honorable Members of Parliament for their diverse expert advice in salvaging the situation, and must say that such discussions stand to strengthen our democracy and should be encouraged. Where are we, Good People? We are at a point where people have been displaced and have almost lost everything including shelter, clothing, food, family and heritage and almost everything that makes them unique. This is where we are and the Volta River Authority (VRA), instead of rendering an apology to those affected, is still insisting that we inform them. Please, VRA, if your planning and sensitization were good enough, we wouldn’t have gotten here. So I would like to assist the VRA with some measures to add it to their solution plate to serve all the good affected individuals of the Lower Volta environs. The first step for the VRA to undertake is to APOLOGISE TO THOSE AFFECTED. Sincerely, the VRA may have planned but it didn’t go as expected so you apologize. Apologizing shows that you are honest, respect the affected people’s feelings and gives you some level of integrity. This should be live on air and also written and published so as to counter all the news circulating on the media. Moreover, the VRA and the government of Ghana together with all other stakeholders including Members of Parliament in those affected areas must collaborate and come up with pragmatic short timely measures in salvaging the situation. Listen, they are first humans, and then Ghanaians who are brothers and sisters and cannot be left to live in those places so lets act quickly. If it were you, what would you have done? And lets not forget that children, youth, the aged and the vulnerable are all involved in this predicament. So lets work together and save the situation. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YES WE CAN, IF WE PUT ASIDE PARTISAN AND FOCUS ON CITIZENSHIP AS GHANAIANS

1. SUPPORT THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS
#AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE
Today, 9th
November 2023, I write constructively to add my voice to the discussion that
was held at the Main House of Parliament concerning Akosombo Dam Spillage.
First, I would like to thank Honorable Members of Parliament for their diverse expert
advice in salvaging the situation, and must say that such discussions stand to strengthen
our democracy and should be encouraged.
Where are we, Good People? We are at a point where people have been displaced and
have almost lost everything including shelter, clothing, food, family and heritage and
almost everything that makes them unique. This is where we are and the Volta River
Authority (VRA), instead of rendering an apology to those affected, is still insisting that
we inform them. Please, VRA, if your planning and sensitization were good enough, we
wouldn’t have gotten here. So I would like to assist the VRA with some measures to add it
to their solution plate to serve all the good affected individuals of the Lower Volta environs.
The first step for the VRA to undertake is to APOLOGISE TO THOSE AFFECTED.
Sincerely, the VRA may have planned but it didn’t go as expected so you apologize.
Apologizing shows that you are honest, respect the affected people’s feelings and gives
you some level of integrity. This should be live on air and also written and published so as
to counter all the news circulating on the media.
Moreover, the VRA and the government of Ghana together with all other stakeholders
including Members of Parliament in those affected areas must collaborate and come up
with pragmatic short timely measures in salvaging the situation. Listen, they are first
humans, and then Ghanaians who are brothers and sisters and cannot be left to live in those
places so lets act quickly. If it were you, what would you have done? And lets not forget
that children, youth, the aged and the vulnerable are all involved in this predicament. So
lets work together and save the situation.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YES WE CAN, IF WE PUT ASIDE PARTISAN AND
FOCUS ON CITIZENSHIP AS GHANAIANS
