A Presidential Candidate Hopeful of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Ernest Kwaku Kobeah has called for the need to make Weija Dam the Centre of Ghana Water Company to help distribute water to every household in the country irrespective of their location as a matter of priority and urgency.
Ghana Water Company has announced the possible importation of water to Ghana due to the Galamsey menace which has created national attention.
But in a social media post on his wall, Mr Ernest Kwaku Boateng who is a Ghanaian Businessman in the United Kingdom and the CEO of City Expert Group a construction firm in UK noted that water must be considered a high basic need for every livelihood and that is why he has made it part of his vision to ensure that water is supplied to every community and home in Ghana.
“I am of the view that Ghana leaders have failed the country because water should not be a challenge for this country where there has been rainfall most often” He Stressed.
He indicated that Ghana can create one tunnel from Takoradi to Weija, Kumasi to Weija and Accra to Weija where a bigger sewage system will be provided for all the domestic and raining water will pass through and since Ghana has Akosombo dam as our main source of Electricity, Weija Dam can be converted to become the center of Ghana Water Company.
Mr Kwaku Kobeah, an Expert in sewage system also added that Ghana can create a sewage system whereby all the rain water could pass through one tunnel that will be refined for domestic purpose and this he said will even reduce the rate of flood in the country
According to him Ghana is blessed to have a natural rainy season every quarter or yearly but all these water go waste and in dry season, it becomes another challenge to find water for supply.
He said the failure of our leaders to make sure these things work is the reason why we face challenges mostly.
