Provide Ejisu with booster station - pleads MP

Ejisu-Ashanti (Ashanti), 22nd April

Mr Akwasi Obeng-Adjei, Member of Parliament for Ejisu-Juaben, has appealed to the Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation (GWSC) to provide the area with a booster station to ensure regular water supply.

Mr Obeng-Adjei regretted that the people have for a long time been relying on water from the Bafo and Kobri streams and from the private water tanker operators.

He told the people at Ejisu that the main pipeline that distributes water from the Kumasi booster station has broken down due to lack of regular maintenance.

'Since the area has not been catered for within the Community Water and Sanitation Programme, "we have to rely on the GWSC for Water', he said adding that public officials refuse postings to the area because of the water problem.
