Convenor of the One Ghana Movement, Senyo Hosi, has called for justice and compensation for victims of the June 3 disaster, insisting that survivors and affected families have waited 11 years for accountability.
He made the appeal at a commemoration event marking the 11th anniversary of the June 3 flood and fire disaster in Accra, which claimed more than 150 lives and left over 200 people injured.
Mr. Hosi stressed that many survivors continue to live with the long-term consequences of the tragedy, including physical disabilities, emotional trauma, and loss of livelihoods.
According to him, some victims lost their hearing, others their means of income, while several families were completely devastated by the disaster. He said that despite these hardships, justice has remained out of reach for more than a decade.
He urged the government and relevant state institutions to ensure accountability and provide compensation to affected persons and families.
“For 11 years, the victims of this tragedy have carried scars—physical, emotional, and economic. Some lost their hearing, some lost their livelihoods, some lost their entire families, and yet the justice they deserve remains painfully out of reach,”he said.
He added that the moment calls for more than sympathy, but a renewed national commitment to justice.
“This moment demands more than sympathy. It demands a national reset in how justice is delivered to ordinary citizens. We call on the state, we call on His Excellency the President, to act in the spirit of his resetting Ghana agenda. We believe the President stands for building prosperity and restoring hope,” he added.
