Marking the anniversary at the Degorme camp in Mepe, affected residents highlighted the ongoing struggles of displacement, loss of livelihoods, and the absence of meaningful recovery efforts.

Despite occasional visits by government officials, tangible support remains absent. Over 200 individuals still live in makeshift shelters, battling exposure to harsh weather and health risks.

The MDA’s expenditure of over GH₵100,000 on camp maintenance is a testament to the community’s resilience but also highlights the absence of state intervention.

The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is leading efforts to seek legal redress.

His initiative raises questions about governmental accountability and the mechanisms in place for disaster compensation.

The community’s demands, including compensation, housing, and psychological support, are not extraordinary—they are basic expectations in the wake of such disasters.

The lack of response points to systemic inefficiencies that need urgent attention.

Chairman of the Mepe Development Association (MDA), Fabian Mawulenu Kojo, in his speech, highlighted the lingering struggles of the affected and the perceived failure of state intervention.
