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.
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 organizations to come to their aid else, they will advise themselves during the elections.
The Assemblyman for the area Hon. Frank Danso also speak to the media about the water challenges they are facing in the community.
