Zanetor Rawlings Advocates Urgent Action to Prevent Flooding

The Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle Constituency, Hon. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings, has called for immediate and decisive measures to address the looming threat of flooding in her constituency.

Speaking on the floor of parliament, she expressed grave concern over the potential repercussions of the upcoming rainy season, and called for urgent need to address the issue of flooding that has been affecting both public works and residential areas in Klottey Korle.

“In our constituency, we are faced with a pressing issue of flooding that poses a significant threat to both infrastructure and homes.

We need to take prompt and appropriate measures to tackle this challenge before the rainy season intensifies,” she stressed. The parliamentarian specifically pointed to the Odwana River as a key focal point for action.

She asserted, “I propose that the Odwana River should undergo necessary maintenance, either through dredging or other suitable methods, to ensure that we are well-prepared for the impending rainy season.”

Concerns were raised about the potential consequences if proactive measures are not taken promptly. Rawlings stated, “We are going to suffer anytime soon if the rain starts falling. I am raising this issue to channel our collective efforts into implementing measures to address the potential flooding risks that our constituents may face.”

The call to “dress or distill” the Odorna River was emphasized as a crucial step in preventing flooding and safeguarding the welfare of the constituents. The MP urged relevant authorities and stakeholders to collaborate in executing these preventive measures.
