Get the DNA of all the victims and match with the DNA of close relatives. This will simplify the process, save people the agony of going through 150 charred bodies.

They say we are being spiteful and have no patience or understanding for this useless pepeni / ayigbe devil God forsaken govt. See the misfortunes and disasters we face due to this tribal pepeni hopeless govt . Pestilence after pestilence will befall us until we stand up and do God's will by removing with blood this idiotic govt.People dying horrible deaths just because of corruption . They buy below standard firefighting equipment from America which cant do the job just because someone wanted to chop money , ambulances that have below standard equipment and can do the job right , sewage and drainage systems that dont exist or function due to the fact that some needed to chop money and the list is endless. When things go bad and people begin to die nobody is accountable or can be held responsible . My people arise and remove this fool govt from there quick

Seriously, who is in charge? Has the government put out a plan to identify the dead and made that plan public? Instead of folks moving from hospital to hospital shouldn't there should be a center where the folks go to and register names and other personally identifiable information of the missing relative/friend and the family's contact info? Obviously, it is going to take some time to identify all the people and this should be made known to them instead of them going through the pain of moving from hospital to hospital doing their own search. This disorganized way of searches must also be disruptive for the hospitals. Very sad times in my dear country. I hope lessons are learned from this disaster and the necessary improvements made.

This is very sad. We don't even have a DNA data base. Why have we been so backward despite gaining independence in 1957? Why do we celebrate the independence at all on March 6th? We have been sleeping all this while. Can someone ask Rawlings for me ' What he did after wasting over 20 years of our precious time with the moron coward citizens chickening around watching the country retrogressing with each second tick of the clock'?

NADMO, please just identify them through DNA and don`t let these poor Family Members run from Hospital to Hospital. What can they see there?
Even the dead ones can not simply be recognised or identified so there is no sence letting those searching for Family Members be tortured like that.
There will be more death after visiting all morgues. Try to be profersional a bit.

Having petrol stations next to homes and dwelling must be discouraged. This is the result of what it could cause. There is one at Accra New Town as well which must be relocated.

Hey fellow ghanaian please read between the lines this demonic company must be voted out bcos since ndc came to power fire outbreaks are very unprecedented also chop chop the people money. Why. Although there is flood in Houston they always drained out fast but in asaga and Manama govt floods cumulative fire outbreaks in Accra don't drain out. But rather bleeds mosquito . Ask criminal ndc and Manama that where is the drainage money of 700. M. Dollars. Ooh shame criminals in govt . Vote them out now. Afterall. This. Criminal. Party was formed through. Blood in June 4.

Couldn't that GhC50m package have been put into the dumso issues earlier enough to prevent this disaster? May the Ghana government and all those including the opposition parties that do nothing to help the country but engage themselves in corruption and stealing the country's resources suffer worse conditions than what happened to these innocent victims.

Most Ghanaians can ill-afford dental care at the dentist and therefore the dental records which could have been used under such horrific circumstances are absent. SUCH POVERTY.

I hope the money promised will be given to the victims. It shouldn't be one of the usual Mahama promises which are never fulfilled. The money should not be used for new activities or be given to only New victims. The floods were caused by the construction taking place at the circle. Contractors very often take us for a ride. They do shoddy work and receive colossal sums of money. What is the benefit of an interchange when to to benefit die before it is completed?.

I heartfully sympatised about the aftershock and also with the affected families. Death as we all know is inevitable but to occur in such a manner is very tragic. In the layman's view,I will say God gives and God takes so you should leave everything to God and believe that God will replenish everything that you have lost in the appointed time. Yaako.
