Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the North Tongu , is concerned that the president is not paying attention to the plight of the 40,000 victims of the VRA spill.
He calls the president’s actions un-Ghanaian in light of the suffering endured by the communities as a result of the spill.
“It is most condemnable, unpresidential and un-Ghanaian for President Akufo-Addo to in his Message on the State of the Nation totally ignore the plight of 40,000 VRA spillage victims, some of whom remain displaced and continue to live in refugee-like tents 5 months and counting without governmental resettlement and compensation. A really sad day.”
The National Disaster Management Organization (NaDMO) reports that over 40,000 people were left homeless and displaced.
Since then, a few organizations and people have given the locals relief supplies.
