    Citizens are drinking from gutters with contaminated maggots and mahama had the audacity in mocking "Kuffuo gallon" in his campaign. Ghana need humongous change. mahama/NDC must look for exit.

    This is the kind of ugly reportage I detest. If you have chanced on the opportunity to visit Obo you will marvel. This story is bogus. I personally live in kwahu, AVRL supplies water to the environs. Cock and bull story.
