Heavy rains that swept across parts of Ghana have once again sparked criticism over the country’s inability to curb perennial flooding, with media personality Nana Aba Anamoah questioning whether authorities are making any real progress.
Reacting after the latest downpour triggered widespread flooding in several communities, the broadcaster said the cycle has become all too familiar. According to her, every rainy season brings destruction, public outrage and fresh assurances from officials, yet the problem persists despite various initiatives introduced over the years.
In a series of posts shared on X, Nana Aba singled out Greater Accra Regional Minister Linda Akweley, posing a direct question in the aftermath of the floods.
“How do you feel this morning @HonLindaAkweley?” she wrote.
She also drew attention to the anti-flood task force launched last year, suggesting it had done little to prevent another devastating episode.
“An anti-flood task force was inaugurated last year,” she said in another post.
Nana Aba maintained that the country’s response to flooding has become a recurring routine, where urgency disappears as soon as the rains stop before the same challenges resurface months later.
“Same script every year. The rains end, everyone resets to factory settings and we reconvene next rainy season for another round of outrage,” she added.
Her remarks echo concerns expressed by many Ghanaians who believe the country’s flood problem requires more than temporary interventions. Critics have repeatedly cited poor drainage infrastructure, unchecked development on waterways and weak urban planning as key reasons floods continue to devastate communities whenever intense rainfall occurs.
Below are some of her posts.
