The June 3, 2015 killer and property-destroying floods which visited Accra were commemorated two days ago. It was a commemoration bereft of an elaborate and coordinated programme of reflection under the auspices of government but rather occasional and isolated references in media conversations.

It went down in post-independence history as the worst force majeure having claimed 150 lives and pushing many to…

While political competition remains an important part of democracy, excessive…
