“After Elections They Disappear” – Angry Residents Hit Out at Leaders After Floods | Matters Arising

Severe flooding in Accra has left parts of the capital submerged in filth and destruction following a heavy downpour, displacing residents and worsening sanitation conditions. Affected communities, particularly in Alajo, say they have lost their belongings and are now sleeping on bare floors, accusing politicians of neglect after elections. While some officials blame poor waste management and construction on waterways, others point to governance failures and lack of preparedness, with renewed debate over flood response strategies and accountability for recurring disasters in the city. #mattersarising
