A former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong is admonishing political parties not to politicize the situation of those impacted by the Akosombo Dam spill.
The dam’s overflow, which started last month, has affected almost 26,000 individuals.
Numerous individuals have been moved to safe havens along with the impacted constituencies.
“Something must quickly be done. Our friends in parts of the Volta and Oti Regions are going through a crisis. We are one nation. We plead with our politicians not to politicise what people are going through. People need help. This is a genuine need. I know some of you have started mobilising for people to contribute. Any Ghanaian that can be of help must be there. My own church Presbyterian Church of Ghana is moving to help. Let’s all move to help, so our friends in need know that they are loved, they belong and Ghana is a nation that cares.”
Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong continued, “Those who were consulted before the spill must be held accountable for the full scope of the destruction.”
