Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan assembly has asked the families and victims of the June 03 disaster to turn to the Lord as they remember and mourn those who lost their lives during a disaster many have said could have been prevented if city authorities had done their jobs.
"On this occasion like many others the question more often that not is who shall we turn to? And the answer always will be we must turn to the Lord," the AMA boss said.
He urged families to praise God regardless of the situation.
"Those who wait upon the Lord we are told will alway renew strength they shall mount up with wings as ealgles." he quoted.
