The Founder and Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has expressed concern over the recurrent floods in the country, urging politicians to move beyond empty promises and inaction, and deliver real solutions to combat the menace.

In a statement issued on his X page on May 20, 2025, Kyerematen described the recent floods in Accra as a painful reminder of the neglect many communities endure year after year.

“Ghana is tired of ‘No Action, Talk Only’ (NATO). In these difficult moments, I extend my deepest condolences to families who have lost loved ones and my heartfelt support to all affected by the devastating floods across our nation,” he said.

Kyerematen called on the government to confront the recurring floods with urgency, strategic planning, and compassion.

“Let us rise not with sympathy, but with solutions. Together, we can transform Ghana into a nation where no child is drowned by negligence, no family is left homeless by inaction, and no Ghanaian is forgotten,” he added.

At least three people lost their lives following torrential rains that triggered severe flooding across parts of Accra on Sunday, May 18, 2025, displacing many households.
