Volta Regional Minister James Gunu spends night with tidal wave victims in Ketu South

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has spent the night with victims of the recent tidal waves that have displaced hundreds in Ketu South.

The tidal waves, which affected communities such as Amutinu, Agavedzi, and Salakope, have left over 600 people without homes. Reports indicate that burial grounds, residences, and other properties were destroyed, forcing some families to exhume the bodies of their loved ones.

In a social media post, James Gunu explained that his decision to spend the night at the temporary shelter provided for the victims was to better understand their struggles.

“I’ll be spending the night with the good people of Agavedzi-Salak?ƒe-Amutinu. It is important for us to feel what they feel even as we formulate and implement the permanent solution,” he stated.

His act of solidarity comes ahead of a planned visit by President John Dramani Mahama, who is expected to tour the affected communities to sympathize with the victims and provide support.

The tidal wave disaster has once again raised concerns about coastal erosion and the urgent need for long-term solutions to protect vulnerable communities in Ghana’s coastal regions.
