The Parliamentary Candidate of National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Sekondi Constituency, Lawyer Blay Armah Nyameke has desilted the major storm drain on Ngyiramoabakam and Essaman in the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis to curb perennial flooding which affects residents of the two communities annually.
The exercise which began early hours of Sunday, June 18, 2023, was aimed at ensuring free flow of water to avoid flooding following the raining season to save the lives of the people.
This, follows a request by the youth and some elders of the two communities to come to their aid and desilt the major drains that are chocked due to activities of indiscriminate dumping of refuse resulting in the growing of shrubs and various plants that block the free flow of water.
Lawyer Blay, as affectionately called, is hopeful that the desilting activities he organized in the two communities will prevent any flooding at the onset of the rain.

According to him, the exercise will address the issue of perennial flooding that has been occurred in the two communities every year during rainy season.
The move by lawyer Blay is to end the perpetual floods, mostly affected by the people of Ngyiramoabakam and Essaman during heavy downpour.
He further indicated that flooding is a natural disaster and there is the need to find solution to it to save lives and property. “It a must do project and that’s why I am doing it and not for electoral benefits.”
“I have come to help address the problems of Sekondi, it is a God calling and I know God will give me everything I know to make Sekondi great again.”
