We are not under-resourced – NADMO denies Mahama’s claims
Claims by former president Mahama that the National Disaster Management Organization(NADMO) is cash strapped hence is not able to carry out its duty efficiently to support victims of the recent tidal waves that hit parts of the Volta Region has been debunked by the organization.
This incident has led to hundreds of residents being displaced in the Anlo district, Keta and Ketu South Municipalities.
In his bid to commensurate with the victims affected by the tidal waves, the 2020 National Democratic Congress () Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama visited the affected coastal areas on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at the end of which he pointed out that NADMO was affected by the financial difficulties being experienced by the government and was not in a position to adequately provide reliefs to the victims.
But, a Deputy Director of the Organization in charge of Technical and Reforms, Seji Saji, debunked that notion and said that NADMO had currently received its fair allocation of resources.
“I don’t think the question is about whether or not we are under-resourced. Every agency in this country gets its part when the cake is shared.
“I can confidently say we have been provided our due share. No agency has more done enough. That is why we call for people to support,” he added.
NADMO has so far distributed 3,000 student mattresses, 1,500 mosquito nets, bags of rice and other assorted items to victims of the disaster.
