Residents of Hohoe find themselves vulnerable after the local National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) office was forcibly closed by NDC Constituency Organiser Wodey Samuel, who disputes the appointment of Deputy Organiser Raphael Kumaga as Municipal Director.
While Samuel labels the decision “injustice,” his lock‑up of the premises has halted critical disaster preparedness work—from early warning systems to community training—just as the rainy season intensifies.
A former party executive revealed Samuel initially declined the NADMO role, seeking a position at the Bank of Ghana before reversing course.
Municipal leaders have yet to intervene, prompting demands from civil society and opposition figures for swift mediation. Until the office reopens, Hohoe’s disaster response capabilities remain on standby, underscoring the real‑world risks when political disagreements stall essential public services.
