Archibald Cobbinah in an interview said the attitude of Ghanaians putting garbage in the gutters will not help.
"It is sad how people take advantage of the rains to collect and put rubbish on our drains," he said.

"We all have a role to play to ensure we keep our cities and drainages clean. People should take precautionary measures to ensure they are safe during the rainy season. People should identify safe havens within their communities where they can be safe, especially when they know their houses or community floods when it rains."
