Over 400 persons in four towns in the Kwaebibirem District lost cash and property in devastating floods at the weekend.
Parts of Akwatia, Boadua, Topremang and Apinamang were flooded last Saturday and Sunday when River Mmo, which flows through the town, burst its banks and unleashed a disaster said to be the worst in living memory.
People lost television sets, sound systems, video decks, CDV's, fridges and other household appliances.
Assessment made by the District National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) showed that at Akwatia and Boadua over 30 houses were flooded.
Poultry farmers, Kwadwo Akawaho of Akwatia lost 345 birds out of 400, Abdul Wahab lost 490 out of 500 birds and Ebenezer Koranteng lost 300 out of 800 birds.
Mr Koranteng also lost 60 grass cutters and 10 goats.
The District Chief Executive, Yaw Yiadom-Boakye and officials of NADMO led by the District Co-coordinator, Miss Veronica Dzakey, visited some of the flooded areas on Saturday and Sunday.
