Senyo Hosi, the Convenor of the One Ghana Movement, has called for justice and compensation for the victims of the June 3 disaster. He emphasized that survivors and affected families have been waiting for accountability for 11 years. Mr. Hosi made this appeal during a commemoration event to mark the 11th anniversary of the June 3 flood and fire disaster in Accra, which resulted in the loss of over 150 lives and left more than 200 people injured.
He highlighted that many survivors continue to face long-term consequences from the tragedy, including physical disabilities, emotional trauma, and the loss of livelihoods. Some victims have lost their hearing, others their sources of income, and many families have been completely devastated. Mr. Hosi expressed that despite these ongoing hardships, justice has remained elusive 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.
