Where is the water they are talking about? The taps are always dry, our system works backwards. Its apparently normal to have no water flowing to our various homes, thats what we live with. Anytime water flows it feels like the world is coming to an end, everyone is scrambling to fill our jars before the last drop. Go ahead and increase whatever increment you are talking about, those who get the flow of water will have to pay for it. (When will this great change be?)

It's a shame that water resouces are not being managed properly. Let's use some the oil funds to subsidise this precious commodity. Wake up, Mr President Mahama!!

What is not understood in connecting the dots when it comes to utilities is these are essential services that we need to survive, secondly there are only single providers in the country so we don't have choice we must use them, thirdly people's salary increases do not go up by the percentage amount they have implemented, 52% or what ever the amount is, fourthly the service quality for the utilities are incompetent at best, idiots running them at worst. Finally and the most important is how much of their income is lost through corruption and theft by their own staff. Address all these issues first especially the last one and I am sure we would only need single digit increases. The other part is to get people whom know how to run a company properly not these useless idiots in charge.....

There are a lot of criminals stealing money from the company that is why the company is broke. You can increase the tariff to 2000% and the company will still remained broke as all the utility companies in Ghana because the bulk of the money goes to individual pockets. Inside knowledge has made me aware that in Ghana, when money is allocated for a project almost all goes to individual and the government is clueless as to how to stamp this corruption. What we need now is having competent and honest politicians and leaders not increases in tariff as that will result in no dvelopment.

Why is the water company interested in higher tarrfifs? Places like Dansoman and Nmenmetee (Russia) don't have water for ages. EXAMINE THE COMPANY.
