Releasing GHS₵2.86m cedis for Akosombo Dam spillage disaster is an insult – Ablakwa

North Tongu MP Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has criticised the government for voting an amount of GH₵2.86 million into the Volta River Resettlement Fund.

According to him, the money won’t be sufficient looking at the extent of damage caused as a result of spilling excess water from the Akosombo Dam.

In an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story on Wednesday, November 8, Mr Abakwa said the disaster that has struck the flood-affected communities is so dire that a 'paltry’ GHS₵2.86 million cannot solve it.

“If you look at the scale of the disaster, releasing GH₵2.86 million is an insult. We are talking about damage that runs into billions of Ghana cedis, entire houses destroyed, etc.,” he said.
