Actor Yaw Dabo has revealed that recent flooding that hit parts of Accra is as a result of poor sanitation practices and public behaviour.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, he said people who dump waste into water bodies should face strict punishment.
“Let those who are caught dumping refuse into water bodies be arrested and kept on remand for two weeks.
“For those two weeks, they should be made to work with the Buzstop Boys to clear drainages around the city,” he proposed.
He argued that flooding is partly caused by human actions and not only government failure.
“All this is just that we should change our mentality. It is not everything that we should put at the feet of government. Look at our gutters.
“Look at what we are doing to our drainages. We are putting trash into them and causing blockages, that is one of the reasons we are experiencing flooding,” he said.
