Residents of the electoral area of Buasu Kwame Pinsang in Wenchi Municipality of the Bono region have been forced to share the region’s only water source with animals due to lack of access to clean water.
Member of the Assembly of the electoral zone of Buasu Kwame Pinsang, Emmanuel Dekyi revealed it in an interview with Radio West Africa, Nana Anfreh Damanta, on Friday, February 5, 2021.
He said they shared the same water with the cattle.
The affected villages are Kannease No1., Kannease, Gambia, Atakorakurom, Osei Kurom, Dan Nyame, Nyame Bekyere and Pretua.
The construction of boreholes in four villages in the region put an end to the arrest of the Assembly member.
He called on the government, NGOs and philanthropists to come to the aid of those affected and provide them with portable water which will go a long way in improving the health status of residents living in the area.
Sustainable Development Goal 6, of which Ghana is a signatory, requires member countries to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030.
