This government signed up for the Greater Accra Resilient Integrated Development (GARID). That project had nine lots which include: Odaw, Korle Klottey, Klottey Lagoon, Sakumono Lagoon, the Dzorwulu drain and the facility was supposed to improve Accra\u2019s major drainage system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen your major systems are aligned and they are expanded, they hold more water and draw the water from the community easily. When you don\u2019t align them for the water to flow smoothly, they hit and push back and that\u2019s what creates the floods. Accra must vote against NPP because they are making our flood situation in Ghana worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tema East MP said the NDC is a better manager of flood, appealing to the electorate to vote for the NDC in the December polls.<\/p>\n<p>The GARID project is in line with the government\u2019s vision of improving flood risk and solid waste management in the Greater Accra Region. The project will mitigate the impact of the flood on families, businesses and offices located in flood-prone areas along the Odaw River channel in Accra, thereby enhancing the economic and social development of the area.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac Ashai Odamtten, the Member of Parliament for Tema East, has strongly condemned the Akufo-Addo-led government for its failure to resolve the persistent flooding problem in the Greater Accra Region.
