In other news: Jaman North: School flooded following “shoddy work” by road contractor (VIDEO)
The compound and classrooms of the Roman Catholic primary and Junior High School at Jamera in the Jaman North District of the Bono Region have been taken over by floods following the weekend’s heavy downpour in some parts of the country.
However, the Assembly Member for the Jamera Electoral Area, Philip Fokuo, has attributed the cause of the floods to the poor construction of the Sampa-Jinini road that passes through Jamera town.
He stated that the contractor failed to construct gutters that will ensure good drainage system when it rains.
Moreover, the contractor has abandoned the project over some financial commitment. The assembly man pleaded with government and the Minister of Roads and Highways to settle the contractor financially to enable him return to the construction site.
He finally pleaded with the President and the necessary authorities to instruct the contractor to work on the gutters and drainage system in the Jamera township to prevent further flooding of the school.
Pupils of Jamera R/C Junior High School said, they always go through hardship during rainy season as a result of the perennial flooding and sometimes compelled to study under trees.
