en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ghanaian lawyer and CPP member Kwame Jantuah has pointed out that the country's frequent flooding reveals a deeper issue—a lack of long-term national planning.

After Accra recently suffered another flood, Jantuah appeared on TV3's New Day program, stating that successive governments have failed to produce a comprehensive strategy for dealing with floods and other disasters. He also asked, "Are there any major political parties currently presenting serious plans to address flooding?"

"If a major earthquake struck Ghana today, what contingency plans do we have?" he questioned during the program.

Jantuah believes that Ghana is not only at risk of flooding but also faces other disasters threatening the nation, yet planning efforts are often overshadowed by short-term political priorities. He advocates for strengthening institutions like the National Development Planning Commission, granting them more autonomy to lead long-term planning matters.

He further stated that flooding should not be viewed as a temporary problem occurring every rainy season, but as a development issue requiring sustained attention from the government, local councils, engineers, and urban planners.

"If we don't plan for the long term for this country, when the warning signs become so obvious, future generations will ask what we actually did," Jantuah said.
