A seven-member committee, known as ‘Accountability Elders Council,’ has been constituted by Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, to manage relief items in the district.
The Council would focus on proper coordination, and equitable distribution of all relief items for record purposes, as well as the discussion of issues of relevance in bringing hope and comfort to the recent flood-affected residents, Mr Ablakwa announced this at Mepe during a meeting with the various traditional rulers from the six Traditional Areas under North Tongu.
He said it remained critical and appropriate to keep a record of all activities including the distribution of relief items to affected residents in his constituency.
Mr Ablakwa commended the traditional leaders and other groups and individuals for their support while saying the constituency had been placed in a humanitarian crisis that required all hands-on deck.
Mr Ablakwa, however, expressed appreciation to all donors who had come their way so far.
Mr Ablakwa also reiterated his commitment to ensuring a high standard of integrity for accounting purposes after “this man-made disaster.”
He said the formation of the Council came at a crucial time when accountability would be required for every single activity.
