Following forecasts from experts of severe rains, the Member of Parliament for the Asuogyaman Constituency, Thomas Ampem Nyarko, has urged Assembly members in the constituency to support plans against flooding.
The campaign to desilt clogged gutters was launched in a community in the Budukrom Electoral region, and the MP noted that the exercise was intended to make sure that the drains in his region were cleaned to allow easy flow of water to avert floods.
Mr. Ampem stated that his office had received numerous warnings from Assembly Members regarding blocked drains and felt it was vital to implement the strategy, which entails community work and indoctrination, in order to protect the locals from the terrible effects of floods.
The Budukrom Electoral Area Assemblyman, Mr. David Tamakloe, praised the MP for taking the initiative.
