Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts ministry has expressed its condolences to families of people who lost their lives in Sunday’s Kintampo Waterfalls disaster.
The Minister, Catherine Afeku in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show 'Ghana Montie' described the incident as “unfortunate”.
“We extend our condolences to the families of the dead and pray for the injured who have been rushed to the Kintampo and Techiman General Hospitals,” she said.
Mrs. Afeku added that the “Ghana Tourism Authority will work closely with the Ghana Police and the Kintampo District Assembly to ensure the families receive the needed support and information.
18 students have been confirmed dead at the Kintampo Waterfalls in the Brong Ahafo region after trees crashed on them following a heavy storm on Sunday.
Eyewitnesses say the heavy trees fell from the top of the waterfalls and landed on the people, mostly students who had gone to swim.

What is unfortunate?. Invisibe forces are to be blame. If they are professionals they would have advised them to stop swimming when the rain was heavy and tendering was firing. When Samy Awuku was asking supporters to take over every establishment you were hailing him and All die be die never comment. If you are an elderly person in the house and your children were eating python/snake and you fail to comment you are included in those who ate the python. Now you will see a a regional or district security council coming out put a ban on the place. When unqualified persons like invisible forces were where was the IGP.
