MMDCEs to hold bi-annual Accountability Series under Mahama’s directive

President Mahama has directed MMDCEs to organise twice-yearly accountability meetings to report on government programmes, public funds and local development.

John Dramani Mahama, Ghana's President, has presented relief items to survivors of recent floods in Hohoe, a city in the Volta Region. This act of kindness demonstrates the government's commitment to standing alongside affected communities during times of crisis. During his visit on October 2, 2026, Mahama not only shared his condolences but also revealed that his brother's company, Dzata Cement, will donate 5,000 bags of cement to aid in the reconstruction of damaged homes and structures.

The floods, triggered by heavy rains on September 28, 2026, have displaced numerous residents, destroyed property, and disrupted livelihoods in various parts of Hohoe. Mahama's gesture of kindness comes after numerous calls for immediate government intervention. He assured victims that the government will continue to mobilize support and implement measures to reduce the likelihood of future disasters.

The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, expressed immense gratitude towards the President for his prompt and heartfelt response. He emphasized that the gesture displays compassionate leadership and highlighted the Volta Region's long-standing faith in Mahama during difficult times.
