For victims of far-reaching catastrophic consequences of the September 5, 2023 spillage, from the Akosombo and Kpong dams by the Volta River Authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come for the relevant public institutions to carry out a special and comprehensive exercise in all affected constituencies to immediately replace these important documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for supporting the victims in salvaging the situation.<\/p>\n<p>But in response, the Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin said the call must be channelled to the relevant institutions for redress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe call should be made to the EC, National Health Insurance Authority and others. We cannot narrow everything to the government, and we may not be getting the solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s move from our offices beyond the talk on the floor of the house and move there, they are our colleagues.
