The Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has presented 10 large water storage tanks to five districts in the Central Region to help alleviate the severe water crisis affecting many communities. The tanks were distributed to the Gomoa Central, Gomoa West, Gomoa East, Awutu Senya West, and Agona West Assemblies, which are among the hardest hit. The crisis, caused largely by illegal mining activities (galamsey), has polluted water bodies, making treatment by Ghana Water Limited nearly impossible. “We are expecting more because the Vice President is prepared to give us about 50 of them. Mr. Okyere warned those allegedly intercepting and stealing treated water from Ghana Water Limited of serious consequences.
