Accra, Ghana's capital, faced yet another round of flooding following a heavy downpour on Monday morning.

The torrential rain caused severe congestion on roads, leaving many corporate workers, traders, students, and motorists stranded and drenched.

In areas like Pokuase, Achimota, Odawna, Tesano, and Alajo, motorists were forced to pull over along the roadside to seek shelter from the relentless rain.

The heavy traffic led to long queues of vehicles, with some commuters opting to walk to their destinations, dampening the spirit of facing the second week of May.

Unfortunately, it has become commonplace for Accra to be inundated with floods, even after light rainfall.

Adding to the challenge, many individuals have taken advantage of the situation to dump their garbage into the flooded waters, exacerbating the problem.

This recurring issue highlights the inadequate drainage systems in many parts of Accra, which are often clogged with plastics, wrappers, and cans, leading to overflowing rubbish and posing a potential health hazard.
