Accra is going very fast. Recently, the Ghana Water Company complained that they can\u2019t keep up with the supply of water because of the fast expansion of water. What you do is you plan ahead, and that is what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In outlining his vision to solve the water crisis, Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to addressing Accra\u2019s evolving needs, pledging to prioritize the expansion of water supply upon assuming office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween Professor Mills\u2019 time and my time, we added 40 million gallons of water to Accra\u2019s water supply. In the last eight years, there has not been a single drop expansion in Accra\u2019s water supply. So why do you expect that the water will be enough?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a city that is growing. And so after we added 40 million gallons, at least in eight years, you should have added another 20 million gallons. We have started planning ahead already that when we come into office, we are going to increase the water supply to Accra.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has unveiled a comprehensive strategy aimed at enhancing water accessibility in Accra.
