Former President Mahama with the MP for Korle Klottey, Zanetor Rawlings and some executives
Former President Mahama, MP for Korle Klottey, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings and some National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Officials visited the residents of Adabraka Sahara, affected by last Wednesday's flood in Accra.
The heavy rain on Wednesday afternoon caused Odaw to overflow on its banks; moving many of those who live in Odawna and Adabraka Sahara.
Most of the time, heavy rains in the capital cause flooding in Accra, with many people attributing this permanent fact to the location of structures on waterways, lack of drainage systems and muffled drains.
Some of the affected areas include the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange, the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Spintex, the Pillar 2 Dome Road, Ablekuma, parts of Teshie, the Obetsebi Lamptey Roundabout and parts of Dzorwulu.
In April, parts of the capital were submerged by the waters after heavy rain.
The affected areas, including the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Kaneshie and Avenor, among others, were inundated.
At the Kwame Nkrumah interchange, running water ran out of muffled drains on the roads and left pedestrians with no choice but to wade through the water that had risen to the knees.
Lives were also lost during the floods.
