In the chronicles of 2023, a meager GH¢92 million was dispatched to the Authority under the National Flood Control Programme, a mere drop in the vast ocean of their needs. Dr. John Kissi, the venerable Chief Executive Officer, voiced their plight with unwavering sincerity.
Gathering within the hallowed halls of Parliament, Dr. Kissi solemnly addressed the Assurance Committee. His words resonated with urgency as he painted a vivid picture of the scope of their predicament.
“In the annals of 2023, the National Flood Control Programme bequeathed to us a mere GH¢92 million, a sum as a droplet in a deluge. Our vigilance has shown us the expanse of our crisis. Behold, we crave $5 billion, a sum as vast as our nation, to stem this flood tide that reaps havoc indiscriminately.
“Every city, every town, every region—each one a canvas for the watery onslaught. Our gaze pierces through the veils of complacency, beckoning us to safeguard our lands against the wrath of the waters,” he declared.
In the narrative of Ghana’s hydrological saga, the chapter of need unfurled a plea—a call to arms to salvage the nation from the deluge that threatened its very essence.
Faced with this colossal challenge, the Ghana Hydrological Authority beckoned to the powers that be, imploring them to heed the call and stand against the torrents that sought to consume their lands.
