PURC needs to look at tariffs to water bottling companies. They must pay a % of their bottled water price. They are profiteering at the expense of Ghanaians. The millions of gallons they are pulling and refilling into bottles could have gone direct to the taps of consumers not getting water for months on end.

Start Early, Start Now - Train for better daily income this year. Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!). Don’t miss his blockbuster career guide:“IT Career: A Roadmap” ,..,

We are told cost of production is dollar induced. We now have the dollar coming down, but price adjusted upward.
This economy is difficult to understand.

Water is an essential commodity which should be free or cheap in Ghana . If Galamsey cannot be curtailed to stop the pollution of our water bodies that most Ghanaians depend on for their source of water , then the government must supply free water to Ghanaians.

Hmmmm, we are in trouble ooooo. Now having a fridge and a fan at home is a luxury. You buy power for GHC 100.00 and it can't last for one week. Meanwhile you, your wife and children are at work and school during the the first half of the day. You only come home in the evenings and yet GHC 100.00 power can't last a three bedroom house for a week. It's like the VRA/NEDCO intentionally adjust the electricity meters to run fast. Truth be told, electricity is becoming too expensive in Ghana.

Is the tap water safe to drink? Ghana water should let consumers know is safe or not, because paying this high bill and also buying bottled water is like throwing out few cedis into gutters

Most political appointees and chiefs in Ghana don't pay for electricity and water. Meaning, we the '' nobodies" are paying for them. I never knew that chiefs don't pay electricity and water bill until recently. Ghana is sick

Mahama they said you are their saviour and they want you to show them where the how to both electricity and water bills.Ghanaians stop crying for this is what they told you that electricity and water bills will become very cheap for everyone to enjoy so you folks should stop the crocodile tears. You folks have not seen Mahama harsh treatment yet and this is the Christmas treatment.

Let them be increasing every 3 months as they have already started some years now. I thank God they don't sell the air we breathe. Now dollar is down and still increasing. Take over is possible in Africa.
