The news of the death of 12 people during the recent floods that struck the capital of our country is very sad. My sincere condolences to the families of the deceased.
GH ¢ 197 million has been allocated to the Ministry of Public Works and Housing to unmount muffled drains. Contracts for the work have been awarded and are in progress.
