Ghanaian songstress and actress Rebecca Akosua Acheampong knownin
showbiz as Becca has expressed worry over the seeming ineptitude by
officials in addressing the perennial floods that constantly cause
havoc in the country.
The songstress who spoke to Ibrahim Ben-Bako on Hitz Entertainment
News on the fire disaster that killed over 100 people on Wednesday
said these tragedies have become an annual ritual and people in
authority are doing little or nothing to salvage the situation.
"People die every year during this time, people's houses get flooded
and people die and I'm surprised that up till now this is still
happening" she said.
With some relatives still desperately searching for their loved ones,
Becca who couldn't hold back her tears, sent her condolences to the
bereaved families and hinted that she and a few other celebrity
friends are putting things in place to supports the families of those
who lost their lives in the fire.
"It's time for you to do the right thing, it's time to put things in
place.You don't have to wait for people to die every year before you
come out to show you care, that is not showingyou care," Becca added.
Asked if she was also hit by the rain,she said, she attended an event
and had to stay in town till 2 am because she received a call warning
her not to bother coming home.
Becca said, "It didn't hit my house but the road to my house and the
fact that it didn't hit my house doesn't mean it didn't hit me."
More than 100 people were killed Wednesday night in a fire and flood
incident at a filling station close to the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in
Accra, as they sought shelter from heavy rains.
