NPP’s running mate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says authorities and Ghanaians are to be blamed for the yearly floods in the capital city.

He noted that – our “collective failure” has led to the problem which has claimed lives over the years.

According to authorities, numerous promises to at least curb the situation has rather gone worse – adding that issues related to flooding have not been prioritized.

“It looks like every time it rains we have these problems and then we promise ourselves that we will fix the problem, and then the next rainy season comes and it is the same problem. I think it is a collective failure on our part as a country.These things should be solved,” he explained. 

“We should all collectively blame ourselves for these problems because we haven’t prioritized some of the basic needs that have to be taken care of if we are to make progress as a country,” he added.

Dr. Bawumia made these comments on the Citi Breakfast Show on Friday in an interview.
