Member of Parliament for Adentan constituency, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan has made an urgent appeal to the Roads and Highways Minister to help put up a bridge over a drain in his constituency around Ashaley Botwe that has claimed the life of a seven-year-old boy last week after a light rain pour.
According to him last week Friday, November 5, 2021 he asked a question on the floor of the House about that particular drain and he was told the drain would be captured in the 2022 budget.
“Prince Wisdom Ndomesy of Prince Academy Ashaley Botwe closed from school, the only child of his parents, his mother stays around St Peters School Ogbodjo area, he was crossing the rain and got drowned, his other colleagues had to turn back”.
The Adentan MP further told the House that whiles the water was carrying the seven-year-old boy, he was shouting for help, only to be found dead the follow day at Trasaco phase two, a tragedy he pleaded with the Minster, Amoako Attah to turn his attention to his constituency.
He came under Standing Order 53 when the Second Deputy Speaker was charring affairs on the floor of the House and interrupted, an Order that allows an MP to put an issue of urgent public importance across.
“This is the last time that we should lose a life, I have met with the family and the mother could not control her tears, the only child, only God knows what he would have become in Ghana”, the MP lamented.
