They called for the desilting of the drainage to allow free flow of water.

The MCE visited areas around the Aboabo drainage and Togo bar at Asawasi.



Alhaji Seidu sympathized with the people for their losses and noted with concern how the problem of flooding has been with them for all these years and no solution was found to it.



He assured the people that a lasting solution would be found to the flooding menace, adding that he has assigned the NADMO Coordinator to assess the problem and present a report with solutions that will be implemented to address it.
