Former NHIA chief calls for national mourning for flood victims, criticizes government response

Dr. Aboagye stated that these victims deserve the same dignity and national recognition as those who died in a recent military helicopter crash, emphasizing that "Every Ghanaian life is precious." He also criticized the government's handling of the disaster, alleging insufficient action and support for affected families. Concurrently, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, visited flood-affected areas and, through his Advisor on Gender and Social Protection, Akosua Asaa Manu, donated relief items to victims.

The June 29 floods resulted in numerous deaths, displaced families, and destroyed homes and property, leading to calls for improved flood prevention and disaster response.
