Tabitha Ayillah, a member of the Communications Team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has vented her anger at the Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Dogbe and the Minister of Defense Omane Boamah.
According to Tabitha Ayillah, the Chairman of the anti-flood committee Stan Dogbe and Omana Boamah on social media yesterday talking about football amidst the flooding in the country.
She noted that Stan Dogbe and Omane Boamah showed no empathy which is sad and shameful.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, Tabitha Ayillah stated, “Where is the empathy? From people who should be concerned about the livelihood of Ghanaians. I am saying this because the head Chairman of the anti-flood committee was set by the President who happened to be his deputy chief of staff Mr Stan Dogbe.
I think yesterday he and Omane Boamah who happens to be a minister of defence were on social media talking about football when people didn’t have a place to sleep people were virtually trying to get to their homes after going out probably to church to go to the marketplace”.
She added, “And you have this sensitive person playing a role in this administration talking about football on their handles, I just checked on their handles to see if they have at least issued a statement to empathy with people and to tell them that these are the plans we have for you I have seen none on their social media handles.
We saw them charade we saw them in an aircraft claiming they were doing a visibility study all whatever they were doing using taxpayers’ money and when people are in need they were on social media talking about football it is sad and shameful”.
President Mahama established a task force to fight the recurring flooding situation across Ghana.
The Anti-Flood Taskforce is headed by the Deputy Chief of Staff in Charge of Operations, Stanislav Xoese Dogbe.
The Legal Counsel to the President, Marietta Brew, serves as the Secretary to the Taskforce. Other key members include the Minister for Water Resources, Works & Housing, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei; the Minister for Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim; the National Security Coordinator, DCOP Abdul Osman Razak; and the Deputy Director General of NADMO, Teddy Addi.
As part of its field activities, the task force conducted an aerial reconnaissance to assess flood-prone areas and collect crucial data for flood prevention.
Key locations surveyed included Weija, the Sakumo Ramsar Site, and the Tema Fishing Harbour area.
