WE SALUTE YOU MR. PRESIDENT FOR THE HASTY RESPONSE TO OUR CALL

DAMAK SANITATION WATCH&HEALTH    6TH APRIL, 2020 PRESS RELEASE

WE SALUTE YOU MR. PRESIDENT FOR THE HASTY RESPONSE TO OUR CALL

Good evening to the people of Ghana especially, our gallant doctors and nurses in the various hospitals in the country conducting their professional duties to save lives.

It is our greatest day to engage your attention to thank the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for being a listening president to have responded to our earlier call.
The outfit- Damak Sanitation Watch and Health, had early on released a statement urging the government to ensure adequate and accessible water supply to the citizenry to enable them confront the spread of the novel coronavirus.

We deem it a privilege to acknowledge the rapid response from the President as a sign of good leadership and we say thank you, Mr. President.

The President, in his address to the nation on the state of the Covid-19 on 4th April, 2020, affirmed that his outfit would ensure free supply of water to the most affected in the partial lockdown regions and the provision of medical supplies, in conformity with the various protocols to deal with the pandemic. The prompt response to our call signifies the president’s preparedness in the fight against the deadly virus.

Mr. President, we sincerely appreciate your response and further want to ask for more as Oliver Twist will always ask for more. We want to passionately appeal to your good offices once again, to consider subsidising water prices in the private water companies so as to ensure that communities that are not connected to the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) water supply systems would have access to enough water.

We appreciate the numerous efforts by the government to ameliorate the suffering of the ordinary Ghanaian including the free three months’ supply of water. We are at this juncture urging the public not to abuse the gesture by misusing water. We should reciprocate the gesture by using treated water judiciously. In addition, we urge the public to comply with the laid down protocols to help government protect the citizenry and possibly end the deadly Covid-19.

Damak Sanitation Watch and Health in our efforts to complement the efforts of the central government had collaborated with the International Directhelp Projects to donate alcohol based hand sanitizers to Orphanage homes, Kumasi Children's Hospital and Ghana Prisons Service all in Kumasi, and steps are being implemented to advance speedy completion of already commenced water projects in the region to provide accessible water to some deprived communities. The outfit will continue to contribute our quota in the areas of sanitation and good health.

That notwithstanding, we appeal to all well-meaning Ghanaians especially, the various political parties to rally behind the government in these challenging times. And as we do that, the government led by President Akufo Addo should also walk the talk to apprehend the spread of covid-19.

Thank you. Mr. Akgri Mbabugri Daniel (CEO) Damak Sanitation Watch & Health
