The Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije has said that some bodies retrieved from the flood and fire disaster scene at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra are yet to be identified by their families a year after the incident.

“We still have bodies to be identified. And we must all work and act together. If there are any families that have lost some individuals in the last one year and they cannot find them, they should come so we can work together and identify everybody so we can give them a befitting lasting rest,” he said.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has so far given about 25 families of the victims of the June 3 flood and fire disaster GH¢10,000 per head as a form of cash support from government.

Mr Vanderpuije noted that 108 families have also received some other forms of support from government. He said other dependents will soon get financial support as soon as the Assembly is able to identify bodies that are still at the morgue.

“We have thus far identified 15 severe injured disfigured individuals and government supports have been paid to them. More will soon be acknowledged,” he added.

Over 150 people lost their lives in a tragic flood and fire accident which many have said could have been prevented if city authorities had done their job by ensuring the city is kept clean.

There were reports that only 30 per cent of work has been done dredging the Odaw drain and Korle Lagoon, one year after disaster.

The AMA boss however rubbished those claims, adding that work done so far is 45 per cent.

He explained that 420,000 metric tonnes of silt have been dredged out of the Korle Lagoon.

Meanwhile, President John Mahama has assured Ghanaians that government will do everything possible to ensure that the circumstances that resulted in the June 3 disaster do not recur.
