The West Akyem National Disaster Management Organisation(NADMO) \u00a0has said it cannot supply relief items to residents affected by the Yaw Tanor – Afranse rainstorm.<\/p>\n

The rainstorm that hit the town last Saturday destroyed properties worth thousands of cedis.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”3Pmh9dlJB92IOACVQ2vgtArxJFmBJstO”]Specific functions of NADMO include supplying relief items to persons affected by natural disasters and rehabilitating services for victims of disasters.<\/p>\n

However speaking in an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the West Akyem NADMO Coordinator, Adu Kwesi explained that the West Akyem NADMO branch cannot perform its duties because \u00a0it does not have the resources to do so.<\/p>\n

He said because the West Akyem NADMO branch is normally under-resourced to help residents affected by such natural disasters, it \u201csends messages to those at the regional level for items to be given to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now I am discussing with my regional boss to see how best we can help them.We are now discussing it at the regional level, however I will inform my DCE when we finish with the assessment, \u201c he added.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time a branch of the government agency has complained about a lack of resources to carry out its activities.<\/p>\n

The NADMO Jomoro District in 2014, was unable to supply relief items some flood victims in the area due to a similar challenge.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
