A Deputy Minister-designate for Water Resources and Sanitation, Patrick Yaw Boamah says Ghana needs about $2 billion to execute projects that would provide potable water to the people.
“We need about $2 billion to solve water problems in the country and we must find a way of raising funds for this major project,” Mr. Boamah
Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament for vetting Thursday, April 6, 2017, the deputy minister nominee noted that government cannot provide adequate potable water to the people with the current level of funding to the sector.
Mr. Boamah has therefore suggested that government raised funds through bonds issue to finance water projects in the country.
“We need to take bold steps to issue bonds to get the necessary funding to finance water projects to ensure that safe adequate water is delivered to the good people of this country,” he reiterated.
This is what NPP is doing. Intelligently thinking through the issues facing Ghana with a view to solving them.

The Ministry of Energy is optimistic of meeting its ambitious ten percent target of installed renewable energy capacity by 2020, with the completion of the relevant policy and regulatory framework.
Have you seen what the NPP brings to governance in terms of the intelligence needed to solve the issues facing this country? This is what the NPP is doing.
The move is also expected to drive down the high cost of power in the country.
At present, renewable energy accounts for only one percent of all installed capacity despite the enormous potential existing in the country.
The high initial cost has also been blamed for the low patronage of renewable energy sources.
But a Program Coordinator at the Energy Commission, Frederick Kenneth Appiah tells Citi Business News the right policies would also attract investors into the manufacturing sectors to reduce the burden on hydro electric power.
“Ghana’s access to electricity is among the highest across Africa since most of them are below sixty percent so there is also a potential market. As a result, we would like to use our country as a hub base to develop renewable energy technologies which could be deployed to our neighbouring countries or the regional market,” he stated.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president of Ghana on the occasion of Ghana's data roadmap forum addressing the guest made it known that, the country-level commitments to the SDGs will not be feasible without fast-tracking the data revolution to provide the right information at the right time that is universally accessible to all.
Ghana’s attainment of its SDG goals will be critically underpinned by a robust data regime that is collectively supported by all partners, including the private sector, academia, NGOs, bilateral and multilateral institutions in a harmonized manner.
The amount of data churned out on a daily basis is progressively increasing, with constantly evolving technologies for data collection, analysis and communication, it becomes our shared responsibility to galvanize towards harnessing this revolution for the betterment of our citizens.
The SDGs mark a watershed moment in the history of statistics, propelling and bringing statistics to the very core of development. Now, statistics has moved from being a simple tool for progress monitoring and evaluation, to becoming a key driver of development programs.
To the call to Leave No One Behind on which Agenda 2030 is premised, we must produce more and better information on the lived realities of women and men, boys and girls to root out gender inequalities and begin to address structural discrimination that undermine women and men’s progress in Ghana.
“Addressing Data Gaps”, measures will be put in place to ensure that Ghana will fulfill its global reporting requirements as well as generate relevant data to improve Ghanaian lives.
“Encouraging Data Use” which was the second theme made it known to the guests that his can only be achieved when data producers and users engage in an iterative feedback loop, ensuring that data produced matches user needs.
The third theme of the Forum “Strengthening the Data Ecosystem” acknowledges that the traditional National Statistical System, comprising GSS and selected Ministries, Departments and Agencies, alone will not be able to produce all of the data required for the SDGs, and for other national and regional agendas to which Ghana is committed.
It is important to stress that this Roadmap is not a document that we will produce by the end of this week, month, or year. Rather it will be a living process that will continue to evolve until 2030 and will require ongoing concerted efforts from us all.
This is what NPP is doing not the cooking NDC has been noted for.

Why do you want to blame NPP? I guess you were doing the same things so now you are afraid NPP will do similar things to you. Don't be afraid of your own shadow.
