CLIPE CONSULT Truth, Timely and Trusted
Philanthropist and journalist, Mr. David Sitsofe Tamakloe, has partnered with the Ketu South Municipal Office of the National Disaster Management Organisation, NADMO, to donate relief items to flood victims in Agbozume-Ahorkpoe.
The donation took place on Saturday, July 18, 2026 at the AME Zion Junior High School premises. It was aimed at supporting 125 victims, including men, women and children whose homes and livelihoods were affected by recent flooding in the municipality.
Mr. Tamakloe, a native of Klikor-Kpordoave, said the initiative was made possible with support from private individuals, including Mrs. Veronica Debrah, wife of the Chief of Staff, Mr. Julius Debrah, and other benevolent partners.
He said the gesture was to ease the hardship of affected families and to complement government’s relief efforts.
Mr. Tamakloe urged residents to take proactive measures against flooding by joining communal labour and keeping drains and waterways free of waste.
“Let’s maintain proper hygiene practices to prevent possible disease outbreaks, particularly cholera, which often becomes a threat after flooding. Floods may not always displace people, but they create conditions that increase the risk of diseases,” he said.
Items distributed included bags of rice, cooking oil, Indomie noodles, toilet rolls, detergents, bathing soaps, diapers, sanitary pads, sachet water, soft drinks and other essential items.
The Ketu South Municipal Director of NADMO, Mr. Ferguson Ahorlu, commended Mr. Tamakloe and his partners for the timely support, describing it as a significant contribution to ongoing relief efforts in the municipality.
He advised residents in flood-prone areas to relocate to safer places during the rainy season. He also announced that the Assembly would soon enforce stringent measures, including action against structures obstructing waterways, to address flooding.
Receiving the items on behalf of beneficiaries, the Assembly Member for Ahorkpoe Electoral Area, Mr. Saviour Agbeko Awoye, expressed appreciation to the donors and assured them of fair distribution. He urged residents to participate in monthly communal labour and warned that sanctions would apply to defaulters.
Beneficiaries thanked Mr. Tamakloe, NADMO and partners for the intervention, describing it as timely relief.
Mr. Tamakloe appealed to individuals and organisations to support flood victims across the municipality and announced plans to extend the exercise to Blekusu, Klikor, Akame, Kpodzi and other affected areas in Aflao.
