The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Samuel Atta Akyea, has announced that his ministry will soon conduct an audit into the distribution and management of funds established for Flood Victims of the June 3rd flood and fire disaster which occurred in 2015.

The minister indicated that his ministry will partner Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings to establish how the fund was managed. He was speaking at the official launch of an app developed in partnership with Vodacom to help residents in the area manage disaster related to flood.

According to him, he does not see why some people will benefit from the disaster and called on victims to file complains for the issue to be investigated.
