The Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle Constituency, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings, has disputed claims by the Works and Housing Minister, Samuel Atta Akyea that some drains are being desilted in her constituency to prevent flooding in the capital.<\/p>\n
Atta Akyea, who was in parliament to respond to questions on the country’s preparation against flooding ahead of the rainy season, said the government had begun desilting drains in some parts of Accra including Adabraka.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Rpyt3767olCtKbSqCsMyOoW6wuQxSiVs”]But Dr. Rawlings, whose constituency covers Adabraka and Odawna, told Citi News<\/strong> that contrary to the claims of the Minister, there is no desilting work ongoing in the area.<\/p>\n \u201cHe mentioned that desilting has begun, and he mentioned some of the areas including Odawna and Adabraka which I can confirm is not the case. The gutters have not been desilted and this is of great concern to the people living there. I was there just a week ago. The whole area, along the Odawna to the garages, with all the gutters including those in Adabraka and Osu need to be desilted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
