Trouble As Jerry John Rawlings Threatens To Protest In Parliament If…….

Former President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Jerry John Rawlings has vowed to stage a one-man protest if parliament fails to address the rising sea erosion in Ghana’s coastal areas. The former president says the canker is destroying many properties.

According to the first President in the Fourth Republic, the rate at which people who live along the coasts are losing their lands, properties, and life to the sea is quite alarming.

Speaking to the media when a Parliamentary delegation led by the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Prof. Rev. Aaron Mike Ocquaye visited him at his residence, the former president explained that the situation requires immediate attention.

“It’s happening bit by bit. I am sharing this with you, because when it happens to you that is when you will appreciate how crucial it is to have soil under your feet,” Rawlings said.

However, former Prez. Rawlings also revealed that he would engage President Akufo-Addo to consider extending the sea defense to ensure that people living along the coast do not lose their lands to the sea.

Rawlings added;

“Mr Speaker you should pay a visit to the communities and see for yourself. We need to extend the ground beyond what they are now.”

The eloquent Speaker, and his delegation visited the former president to commiserate with him following the demise of his mother.
