1. Mr. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to address this August House on the recent flooding incidents in the National Capital and elsewhere in the country. I would, also, like to commend the Minority Chief Whip, Honourable Kwame Agbodza for raising the issue of perennial flooding on the floor of Parliament on 23 June 2023, and his commitment towards building a robust built environment for our socio-economic development.
