Store Enough Water, We are having Challenges- GWCL

The management of Ghana Water Company Limited has indicated through a statement that it is experiencing some challenges with water supply in Accra and most cities during this high demand period.

It has therefore admonished consumers to increase storage of water while it is flowing through their taps, so in the event of low pressures or no flow, consumers can resort to their storage.

A statement issued by the company said: “it must be emphasized that during this period of the coronavirus pandemic, citizens are advised to wash hands regularly under running water. With the erratic flow in some areas, consumers are advised to use improvised receptacles like the “Veronica Bucket” in the washing of hands and dispose of the dirty water immediately after".

"A number of consumers who resort to the use of treated water for keeping lawns green, for commercial washing of vehicles, etc. are also advised to desist from that, since these practices reduce the pressures in the pipelines, thereby causing low pressure and no flow in some areas, especially areas located in high elevations,” the statement added.

Akufo-Addo luckiest President but… NDC

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will go down in history as the luckiest President in Ghana in terms of revenues and resources but certainly will also go down as the President who has done very little for Ghana, the Minority in Parliament has said. According to the Minority, when it comes to policies and programmes that affect the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian, Nana Akufo-Addo has done little. The Minority believes the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has a superior record to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) while describing the Akufo-Addo government as corrupt. Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, former Deputy Minister of Energy under the John Mahama administration said “Ghanaians voted for President Akufo-Addo because he promised to tackle corruption head-on. Indeed, he raised the expectations of Ghanaians and promised categorically not to run a family and friends’ government. Today, you and I ...

"Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission:. - Pastor Emmanuel Paa Kwesi Awudi

PASTOR EMMANUEL PAA KWESI AWUDI WRITES: I presented a paper today at the Faculty of Theology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany on the theme, "Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission". Looking at the filth that has engulfed the African continent, one would expected to see serious theological discuss on ecology, especially on the part of African Pentecostals and neo-Pentecostals (the fastest growing Christian movement in Africa). But this is not so. In my opinion, this is due to what I call, "reading scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes". When we lack sufficient biblical definition of God’s mission for humanity, we tend to exclude care for creation other-than-human in our Christian mission. And since Africa has become a heartland of World Christianity, eco-theology must feature extensively in African theological discourse and mission praxis, for the theology that matters is where the m...
