Are we being told that the Oil Companies can not desalinate salt water for drinking and washing? I am of the view that somebody is not telling us the truth here. If a company can desalinate salt water for a community of 200,000 people then how can an oil company not be able to desalinate salt water for workers working on its ships.

It's high time people are made to account. Why did the managers not foresee this? Why no advanced planning? What are they doing now about it? Unacceptable.

Why this senseless Mark Cudjoe crying of benefits lost to his company?
Instead of putting things in place to maximize profit from a market constituency others may kill for, you sit down waiting for God, and go to work any time you feel like,and allow materials to be stolen without jailing anyone,and you are here crying?

Ghana had been in a reactive state since Nkrumah left office and the few left to think forward are not being given the chance to do so, at 56 years look at the state of the country, basic things are all in a mess.Its about time heads of departments start taking responsibilities and pull the country forward.

What a waste of resources! Supplying water to the operators is a neat way for Ghanaina businesses to make money in the oil sector, and to build capacity for the future.
If we cannot suppply ordinary water, how can we ever dream if partnering the oil companies for anything significant? Better Ghana ala Yaa Dum So!
Cry the beloved country!

Kwabena, you hit the nail on the head. The country has a long way to go as those ready to change things are cornered. ''Anything that comes free is of inferior quality''. With this sort of mentality how can we go forward. We have been given numerous resources yet the blackman doesn't know what to do with them not even with the water bodies. I have read most of the books written by Nkrumah and as a young man I wept at some point.Africa must unite, I cry of freedom, Neo-colonialism the last stage of imperialism, Consciencism,The challenge of Congo, The class structure, and Dark Days in Ghana. All these books are enough for Ghana to develop. The ideas are still as brilliant after years these were written. These books go beyond strategic ideas for the country to catapult to another level. What a shame?

Poor management. I believe, immediately Ghana discovered oil in the Western Region, GWCL ought to have found ways and means of increasing their supply of water. I think lack of vision on the part of GWCL is the cause of these companies turning to Ivory Coast for water. It's a shame.

this is double edged, let them buy from ivory coast and feel the cost as compared to ghana take away free price. they can also contribute to solving water crisis. as drillers, they have very sophiscated drilling machines and may just drill holes in land, providing pits as source of water. why do we see problems from only one source.
