Water shortage: My gov't'll bring relief to Accra residents – Mahama
Former President John Mahama has said his next government will ensure there is enough water supply in Accra.
He told supporters during his tours of the Greater Accra Region that his team is strategising toward achieving that.
He said the next Mahama administration wants to expand water supply to Accra.
"Accra is going very fast", he observed, adding: "Recently, the Ghana Water Company complained that they can’t keep up with the supply of water because of the fast expansion of water".
"What you do is you plan ahead, and that is what we did", he noted.
Mr Mahama said the NDC has a record of taking care of the utility needs of Ghanaians.
“Between Professor Mills’ time and my time, we added 40 million gallons of water to Accra’s water supply", he mentioned.
"In the last eight years, there has not been a single drop expansion in Accra’s water supply. So, why do you expect that the water will be enough?
“This is a city that is growing. And so after we added 40 million gallons, at least in eight years, you should have added another 20 million gallons. We have started planning ahead already that when we come into office, we are going to increase the water supply to Accra.”
