Persons who showed some negligence in the discharge of their duties leading to the loss of over 200 lives in last Wednesday’s floods and inferno in Accra should be sacked, Superintendent Minister of the Bantama Methodist Church, Very Rev. Charles Aaron Ekuban, has said.
According to him, the President should not spare the Accra Mayor, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, and his planners who gave permits for illegal structures to be built in the capital, Accra.
“Those who granted false permits for buildings to be built at unapproved locations, their heads should roll …So Oko Vanderpuije was not aware, and the planners too were not… – who gave the permits,” he asked.
He told Kwaku Owusu Adjei Frimpong Monday on Si Me So on Kasapa 102.3 FM that if city authorities had done their work well, the floods and the GOIL filling station disaster would have been averted.
Ghana was last Wednesday hit with a national disaster following a filling station blast and torrential rains that flooded parts of the capital city, claiming over 200 lives in the process.
A three-day national mourning has been declared by President John Dramani Mahama, with flags flying at half-mast from Monday to Wednesday.
The Government has also released some GH₵50million to provide relief for the victims and their families.
