 We are Tired of Drinking Water with Animals-Gorjiase Residents Cry for Potable Drinking Water.

Residents of Gorjiase Community in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region have passionately appealed to the government to, as a matter of urgency, provide them with good drinking water to safeguard their health.


According to them, they have never tasted or enjoyed potable water even though they are part of the country and vote in every election year.


Alrich24newsgh.com news Reporter Apelete Kofi-Michel spoke to the residents of the community and noted that the only source of water the community depends on was a polluted stream.


According to the residents, although their only source of water was polluted with water from gutters whenever it rains, they have no option but to stick to it since there was no alternative.



Given this, they said communicable diseases such as cholera and guinea worm infestation were very common in the community.


They lamented that they thirst for water during the dry season because the stream often dries up, thereby making life unbearable for them, especially women, during that period.



They indicated that several appeals have been made to their district assembly through their assembly member but all have yielded no fruits.


They, therefore, pleaded with the government and any charitable organisation to come to their aid or they will advise themselves accordingly when election year comes. They said.


The Assemblyman for the area Hon. Frank Danso also speak to Accra Fm/ CTV news Reporter Apelete Kofi-Michel, about the water challenges they are facing in the community.
