The Member of Parliament for North Tongu in the Volta Region, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called on the government to find a lasting solution to the tidal wave that occurred in Keta.
Thousands of residents at Keta lost their properties and others were rendered homeless as a result of tidal wave that happened on Sunday 7th November 2021.
The affected communities include Kedzikope, Keta Central and Abutiakope.
Commenting on the incident in a Facebook post, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu in the Volta Region, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, called on the government to carve out a creative, scientific and more permanent solution to the issue.
He stated that countries such as The Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Bahrain, China and Bangladesh have successfully “conquered” the oceans either by reclaiming land, pursuing a strategy of redirection and containment or maximizing economic potential.
“As we all mobilize support by extending shelter and relief items, we ought to recognize that the climate crisis gives us no further procrastination time,” Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa posted on Facebook.

“My heart goes out to our compatriots who are victims of the latest round of tidal waves in the Ketu South, Anlo and Keta constituencies.
As we all mobilize support by extending shelter and relief items, we ought to recognize that the climate crisis gives us no further procrastination time.
We must urgently carve out a creative, scientific and more permanent solution — it is not beyond us.
Other countries such as The Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Bahrain, China and Bangladesh have successfully “conquered” the oceans either by reclaiming land, pursuing a strategy of redirection and containment or maximizing economic potential.”
