Ghanaians Prefer Buying Expensive Beer Instead Of Paying Water Bills....

While highlighting the contributing factors to the inability of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to supply adequate water, Communications Manager of the GWCL Stanley Martey stated it is simply due to consumers' failure to pay their water bills while spending on beer.

In his words:

“People fail to pay their water bills, no matter how small it is, they fail to do so but the sad aspect is

that they find it easier to buy credit or beer and other stuff which is more expensive than water.”

"A family of four will only require 10,000 litres of water per week and that should cost less than Ȼ30.00, “why should this be difficult for us, if you sit with your friends to drink beer you consume more than Ȼ30.00 at a sitting”.
