Mahama's achievement in providing potable water

H.E. John Mahama's efforts to improve access to potable water for the people of Ghana were exceptional. In terms of water supply, his government added a total of 14 million gallons of water a day to the national stock.

He invested in the expansion and rehabilitation of water treatment plants, pipelines, and distribution networks across the country, which helped increase the coverage of potable water supply to many communities.

Under Mahama's administration, several new water projects were initiated and completed. These projects included the Kpong Water Supply Expansion Project, the Teshie-Nungua Desalination Plant, and the Wa Water Supply Project, among others such as the Nsawam Water Supply Project (1.7 million gallons a day), Essakyir Water Supply Project (phase 1 - 3.2 million gallons a day), Five Towns Water Supply Project (Kyebi, Osenase, Anyinam, Apedwa, and Kwabeng - 1.5 million gallons a day), Kumasi Water Supply Project (Barekese Expansion - 6 million gallons a day), and Asante Mampong Water Supply Project (1.6 million gallons a day). These projects aimed to provide clean and safe drinking water to more communities.

Mahama's government implemented various other programs to improve access to potable water in rural areas, such as the Small Towns Water Supply Systems, which focused on providing water to small communities, and the Community Water and Sanitation Agency, which aimed to address water challenges in rural areas.

Additionally, JDM's government prioritized the development of irrigation schemes to support agriculture, providing farmers with reliable access to water for irrigation, thereby boosting agricultural productivity and food security.

While these are some of the achievements during Mahama's presidency, it is important to note that access to potable water remains a challenge in some parts of Ghana. His government's efforts were steps towards improving the situation, achieving 85% water coverage.

There is still work to be done to ensure universal access to clean and safe drinking water for all Ghanaians. Therefore, I implore the good people of Ghana to elect him as president on December 7, to enable him to continue the good work he started.
