A
heavy rainstorm has hit New Brosankro in the Tano South Municipality to destroy
over three hundred properties and eventually rendered some of the victims
homeless.
An
eyewitness who was interviewed described the rainstorm as very disastrous and
explained that the rain which came with thunder and lightning started 8th
May, 2019 and ended 9th May, 2019.
After the rain he assessed the damages and found out that it has
vandalized many properties including Brosankro L/ A Primary School and hinted
that the event has made most of the affected people flee their homes to seek
for shelter elsewhere.
Mr.

government to do all it takes to support victims with the necessary materials
to make them go on their normal duties at Brosankro. He said currently, Ghana
is experiencing new climate change and the climate change has come with its
associate problems and urged government to put measures in place to arrest and
prosecute illegal chain saw operators and other party’s supporters who invade
the forest to embark on deforestation exercise.
