Minority demands immediate dissolution of presidential flood task force, ‘one year, no results, 12 dead.
The Minority in Parliament has called for the immediate dissolution of the seven-member presidential task force established to address the persistent flooding in Accra, arguing that Monday’s devastating floods demonstrate the committee’s failure to implement meaningful interventions despite being in operation for more than a year.
The opposition caucus has also called for a full parliamentary inquiry into the activities of the task force, chaired by Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Dogbe, and has urged the government to implement an urgent public health response to avert potential disease outbreaks following the floods, which have claimed at least 12 lives.
The task force was inaugurated by President John Dramani Mahama in March 2025 with the mandate to assess flood-prone areas, coordinate government interventions, and recommend long-term solutions to Accra’s recurring flooding challenge.
