Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, Hon. Eugene Boakye Antwi has urged the government of Ghana to sit with various stakeholders to find lasting solutions to the perennial water flooding in the country.

According to him, the government should with immediate effect allocate huge sums of money to be used to solve the flooding problem in the country.

“Ghana cannot be going back and forth every year on this same drainage system issue so I think it is the responsibility of the Government to look for money to solve this issue once and for all.”

He also lamented on the enormous damage floods have done to many Ghanaians in various parts of the country and called on government for a lasting solution to the natural disaster.

Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Programme, Hon. Boakye Antwi pleaded with government "to look for money or better still borrow to help fix things.

“The money must be found…EPA and other authorities must do their work… we don’t want to sympathize with Ghanaians again after every heavy downpour of rain.

We cannot continue saying there is no money. Meanwhile we hear people squandering government’s money here and there without any charges against them…the money must be found…if it is a loan we should go for it, if it is a bond that we can raise let’s do it…whatever we must do as the ruling government we should make sure it is done to help stop flooding during this raining season,” he added
