Akosua Manu, an advisor to a potential future Ghanaian presidential candidate, has publicly criticized the government’s response to the recent flooding crisis. Manu argues the primary responsibility of the government should be to protect lives, rather than focus on superficial concerns. Her comments target the current administration’s handling of the disaster and suggest a misprioritization of efforts. Specifically, she implies the government is preoccupied with appearances rather than addressing the urgent needs of those affected by the floods. The criticism comes from within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), adding a layer of internal scrutiny. This statement highlights growing concerns regarding disaster preparedness and relief efforts in Ghana. It signals potential policy shifts should Dr. Bawumia become president.
