In a swift and decisive response to the devastating floods that have displaced families across the capital, a coalition of prominent business executives stepped forward today, July 4, 2026, to deliver critical relief to affected residents in the Klottey Korle constituency.
Led by Julius Neequaye Kotey, Chief Executive Officer of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority who double as the Vice Chairman of the Klottey Korle Constituency, the executive group mobilized resources to provide essential food items, mattresses, and clothing to more than 1,000 individuals struggling in the aftermath of the deluge.
The delegation included notable industry leaders Olabisi Brimah, Sahadatu Abubakar, Hajia Zanua, Maame Ekua Ephraim, and Emmanuel Ashaley Tetteh, who spent the day on the ground distributing items and assessing the damage.
A Duty to the Community
Speaking during the distribution exercise, Mr. Kotey emphasized the private sector’s responsibility to step up during humanitarian crises.
”In times of crisis, it is our duty to stand with our community,” Kotey stated. “While our contribution was modest compared to the scale of the need, we were able to support over 1,000 individuals with essential food items, mattresses, and clothing today. Seeing the resilience of our people firsthand reinforces why we must look out for one another.”
The recent floods have caused widespread disruption, leaving many families without dry shelter or access to basic necessities. For the residents of Klottey Korle, the arrival of the executive-led convoy brought much-needed comfort.
Government and Corporate Synergy
While the immediate focus remains on relief distribution, community leaders are also looking toward long-term solutions. Mr. Kotey expressed optimism regarding the state’s response to the perennial flooding issue, commending the administration’s proactive stance.
”While these floods are a devastating natural disaster, I am encouraged by President Mahama’s commitment to addressing the situation and supporting those affected,” Kotey added, noting that a synchronized effort between corporate citizens and government infrastructure planning is vital to preventing future occurrences.
Members of the executive coalition echoed his sentiments, calling on other corporate bodies and privileged individuals to join the relief efforts as the community begins the challenging process of rebuilding.
