Ofori-Atta stated that additional support will be provided and earmarked in the upcoming year’s budget, despite the fact that the government has already helped the victims after touring the damaged areas and interacting with media. He underlined that the administration is paying attention to the actual needs of the impacted communities in addition to statistics.

We have a few things organized that we would like to discuss, but I believe that we are also approaching budget season. As such, we won’t be focusing solely on figures; rather, we will also be considering the actual sentiments in the field, which means that these social interventions must be examined honestly. We will undoubtedly include this in the budget and give it rapid expression.
