We weren’t influenced to release update on water production improvement – GWL
Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has firmly denied any external influence in their recent update on water production improvements for Cape Coast, Elmina, and surrounding communities.
This clarification comes amidst public scepticism following the announcement of enhanced water quality and supply.
Eric Seth Atiapah, Central Regional Chief Manager of GWL in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi News on Friday, addressed these concerns, emphasising the company’s commitment to transparency and customer communication.
“I am more focused on updating my customers. Exactly a month ago, I came to inform them that things were getting out of hand and we needed help. So it is only proper that after a month we come back to update them,” Atiapah stated.
He dismissed allegations of political influence, asserting that the update was a routine communication to keep the public informed about the status of water production.
“It is just an update and I even said I will keep updating them if it gets better or even worse. So if I am under any influence, what will I say?” he questioned.
Atiapah also highlighted the positive impact of ongoing discussions about water issues, noting that public awareness and support have increased.
“I believe that the discourse itself is creating some awareness, some conscientization, and people are beginning to sympathize with us,” he added.
GWL’s recent update reported a significant reduction in water turbidity levels at the Sekyere Hemang Water Treatment Plant, thanks to efforts led by the Central Regional Security Council (REGSEC).
The company remains committed to providing regular updates to ensure transparency and maintain public trust.
