Independent Council established to manage donations for Akosombo dam-induced flood victims

Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has inaugurated an independent Accountability Elders Council (AEC) to oversee transparent and accountable management of all donations received through his office intended for VRA-induced flood victims.

He made this known in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, November 6, 2023.

The AEC will also be responsible for guiding the MP’s office on the equitable distribution of donations to all 21 displaced camps and affected households across the constituency.

The Council will also ensure no victim is left out and assist the North Tongu MP with integrity mechanisms that must prevent any diversion of relief items or funds received through my office.

The AEC is made up of royalty and highly respected elders from all six traditional areas in North Tongu. It is chaired by the illustrious Prof. Emmanuel Netsey-Afedo.

Other members of the AEC are Togbe Kodzo Azagba IV of Mepe, Mama Asieku IV of Battor, Manklalo Agbohla VI of Dorfor, Togbe Dzetekletsi III of Torgorme, Memayor Asiworme — Secretary to Fodzoku Traditional Area and Nicholas Bordeha.

Meanwhile, Mr Ablakwa has extended his appreciation to members of AEC “for their commitment to honest service of our people.”
