Weeks after a devastating rain
has completely cut of the District capital of Adaklu from neighbouring
communities rendering scores of residents homeless and also depriving them of
their livelihood, the district NADMO coordinator is calling on your government
as part of measures to avert future occurrence of flood to improve on the road
networks in the district .
According to Mr Frank Todzro the
Adaklu District NADMO coordinator, roads linking the district capital Waya have
never seen any major engineering works even after the visit of the late
president, prof Evans Atta mills in 2011 when a promised was made to improve
the road networks. Roads linking Waya-Mafi-Kumasi, Waya- Ziope Akatsi , and
Waya-Agotime Kpetoe are in deplorable and life threatening state he said.
‘’The challenge we have here is
the nature of the road, that doesn’t mean that when the roads are constructed,
we would not have floods but for Adaklu we have peculiar case; If the roads
were constructed, access to the capital could be at ease even during the flood.’’
The recent of such rains, flooded
homes with the major roads submerged in the flood. The district capital Waya was
cut off completely from neighbouring communities that depend on her for foodstuffs
and other agriculture produce. Health workers were seen carried shoulder high to
cross the flood waters to their centres to take care of patients.
The NADMO coordinator’s made the
call during donation of relieve items to the flood victims by the district
assembly and the national disaster management organisation. Bags of rice, bales
of blanket, boxes of match stick and assorted items were presented to the
victims
The chief executive of the adaklu
district assembly Mr Emmanuel sky Ganaku advised residents to desist from
building on water ways. He however disclosed to citinews that as part of measures
to avert future occurrence of the disaster flood zones would be bordered in the
district and residents would be prevented from raising structures in those
areas.
