“The people who are owing us, we expect that they pay before they get free water. Somebody said those of them who have been disconnected, we have to connect them so that they will benefit from the three months [free water service],” Dr. Braima told Accra-based Citi FM.
“I said the President is not telling me to give free water to those who are not connected because the president is not paying for January or February, and so those owing will have to pay.”
In his latest address to the national concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, President Akufo-Addo announced that government will foot the water bill of Ghanaians for April, May and June 2020.
This, he said, is to provide relief for Ghanaians amidst the partial lockdown in some parts of the country.
