Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim North Constituency, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, has blamed the flood that was caused by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam on engineering failure.<\/b><\/p>\n

In his view, the lack of technological intervention caused the flood that destroyed homes and other properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see this as engineering failure rather than a calamity,\u201d Mr Appiah-Kubi who has lost 200 acres of rice farm due to the flood said on Saturday, October 21.<\/p>\n

He added \u201cThe absence of technological intervention that is causing this problem. Why have we ignored all the technical and engineering warnings? If there were expected overflows, we needed to harvest that for reuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

His colleague legislator for South Dayi Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor also indicated that the Volta Lake got full way back in December 2022.<\/p>\n

He said the Volta River Authority (VRA) knew about this situation and should have spilled gradually, not in the manner it has done.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo from April, May, clearly you had to spill. I saw the water levels and I knew the level I was seeing the lake was full, the lake has been pregnant with water for soo long. It is the late spillage that has caused this flood problem,\u201d he also said on Saturday, October 21.<\/p>\n

He added \u201cThere was something wrong fundamentally with the spillage that was done this time. The VRA acted unprofessionally in the manner it has done.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added \u201cI have classmates and seniors who are engineers there, they tell me that the dam practically was vibrating, and people were running out of the offices but this is not something they can come out and tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

His side of the House, the Minority, has demanded a thorough investigation into the flood that was caused by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.<\/p>\n

They are accusing the VRA of causing the \u2018man-made\u2019 disaster. The Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson further expressed disappointment at the way the VRA was going about its relief support to the people.<\/p>\n

The Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson told journalists after leading the leadership of the Minority to inspect the affected communities that have been affected on Friday, October 20 that \u201cWe have Saglemi sitting idle, the government must ensure that they house the people of these 11 affected communities for this constituency properly. We are suggesting that as a matter of urgency, they can relate them temporarily to the Saglemi Housing project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ajuamko Enyan Essiam lawmaker added \u201cwe are disappointed in the Volta River Authority, we believe that their conduct has not been good enough, they have not engaged communities and we in the NDC particularly in Parliament, will investigate this matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the Energy Committee from our side to start the process of instituting a probe into this matter immediately. Aside from this, we also believe that the VRA has not been proactive, after causing this man-made disaster their donations are coming in in trickles. A strong institution such as VRA should have done better what they are doing, we urge them to also start.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto accused the Volta River Authority (VRA) of causing the disaster hence the authority must compensate the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe media has been phenomenal in highlighting the grave levels of devastation following the VRA-induced disaster. We are exceedingly grateful. The over 12,000 displaced constituents of mine will never forget you. Press for your comprehensive coverage from the ground at prime time this morning. Together we shall survive this man-made disaster and secure justice for all victims,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

He further stated that \u201cYesterday we cut sod for construction to begin on a First Sky Group housing project to relocate a good number of my 12,000 beloved displaced constituents. First Sky\u2019s subsidiary known as Construction Ambassadors are executing the project which they promise to complete in record time. As our contribution, we are offering free land at all agreed three locations. Additionally, we stand ready to provide communal labour support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relocation will begin to restore the dignity of my beloved constituents, ensure they live in much healthier conditions, and free the 21 schools being used as safe havens so our children can return to school. North Tongu shall never forget the generosity and humanity of the First Sky Group. May God bless you all bountifully. Together, we shall survive this man-made disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the VRA, Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa said that the lake was experiencing inflows more than expected hence the spillage was going to continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on phase II [of the spillage] right now and it is a cycle. It is normal at this time of the year for us to experience inflows. The difference is that we are getting more than expected and to safeguard this dam means that we have to spill water, that is the standard operation for any hydro dam but the inflows that we are seeing now are in excess.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely, as the cycle goes through this will recede so we are hoping it will recede in the next time,\u201d he told journalists on Thursday, October 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spilling may continue even though we are anticipating that the levels may drop down to phase 1, which was started on September 15 but of course, we did not have much excess as we are seeing now, this is an emergency as we have seen from the beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether dredging or no dredging it is an emergency. The volume of water that is coming into the lake right now which we have to throw out, it means that we need to evacuate people from wherever they are to ensure they are safe until the inflows recede,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The VRA was accused of neglecting its responsibilities in the Lower Volta Basin hence the huge impact of flood caused by spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams on communities.<\/p>\n
