For the past four weeks, relief items for flood victims at Chereponi in the Northern Region have not reached the beneficiaries due to the unavailability of transport to convey the items.The items are still locked up at the NADMO Disaster Warehouse at Saboba.The District Assembly and the District Disaster Committee have reportedly not been able to get fuel for vehicles to convey the items to affected areas.Deputy Coordinating Director of Saboba/Chereponi District, Osman Nusah, who disclosed this said there is also no money to buy fuel.He said this on Thursday when briefing the National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Douglas Asiedu Akrofi during a visit to the district to assess the distribution of the relief items. Kramo Maturn Joshua, the District NADMO Coordinator, said relief items received from the World Food Programme (WFP) are still locked up in the warehouse due to lack of vehicles and fuel.He said bad roads are another impediment.He therefore appealed to the government and other development partners to assist NADMO to reach the victims who are in dire need of the items.Kramo Maturn further appealed for building materials, saying that many of the victims need them to rebuild their houses.Mr Asiedu Akrofi was unhappy that the items had not reached the flood victims. He, however, gave the assurance that the District NADMO officers would be given the necessary support to get the items to the communities.He also urged non-governmental organisations and benevolent societies to assist the NADMO coordinators to transport the items to the affected areas.The Ghanaian Times said it later learnt that many other districts were facing similar problems including central Gonja and some communities in "Overseas in the West Mamprusi District.Source: The Ghanaian Times
