Residents of Dompoase-Fabi electoral area in the Asokwa municipality of the Ashanti region and are resorting to unhygienic sources following a water shortage blamed on Kofi Job construction who is working at the Ahinsan-Bosomtwe Highway.
In some areas like Fabi, Dompoase and Esereso, Silver FM’s Akwadaa Nyame reports that they had dirty water briefly flow through their taps after being without water for the past two months.
While in Dompoase, they have been without water for the past two months and only depend on sachet water while other areas like Fabi and Esereso have been without water for the past one month, two weeks and only depend on stream which is not hygienic because of the refuse dump from the Dompoase land filled site which is near the stream.
“It has become very difficult doing the house chores, washing and cleaning. Even the water to bath is a problem and we don’t know what the problem is because we cannot continue to endure this,” one frustrated resident told the reporter.
Another resident said, “the situation is becoming dire for some of us as our husbands are skipping work because we cannot get water for them to bath.

Also, we cannot even go about our daily business because we cannot bath to step out to go about our business. We have to resort to sachet water which is really not helping issues.”
The Ghana Water Company Limited in the Ashanti Regional capital led by Samsom Ampa came here but since then we have not seen anything.

Speaking with the Assemby member of the area, Hon Thomas Agyare has accused the contractor for cutting the pipe line connected from Ghana water company to their area.He said, the contractor is working on the Bosomtwe road and that is the cause of the problem but the contractor should have done something about it when they find out that the pipe line has been destroyed but has refused to do it.

In Ghana, statistics shows that, close to seven million people rely on surface water to meet their daily water needs, leaving them vulnerable to water-related illness and disease.
Reports also shows that about 67 percent of Ghanaians lack access to improved sanitation or are entirely without toilet facilities.
The majority of households without access to safe water and sanitation lack the upfront funds needed to invest in their own solutions, the report has revealed.
Apparently, those living in poverty often pay up to ten times more per liter for water service from private vendors than their middle-class counterparts connected to piped water services.

DEBUT ALBUM: Miriam Mandipira & The Soul Family

DEBUT ALBUM by Miriam Mandipira & The Soul Family!
You’ve never heard a voice like Miriam Mandipira’s. Undeservedly, she doesn’t take credit for the power or presence she delivers. For Miriam, music is much more than just notes and words. It’s
magic. And faith. You can experience it LIVE and on the album, which is set to be released on September 1st.

She has been singing for as long as she can remember, growing up with her ears glued to the radio.

From the moment her school teacher asked her to sing in class, the rest has been history. From Africa to Denmark, from Book Café in Harare to Mojo Blues Bar and the big concert halls. From
Danish Radio Big Band to the Royal Theater. Music is music, and Miriam is the music.

“But it’s not about me when I sing. I’m just the instrument, and when I’m on stage with my band, I sing from a place that’s not about rules and technique but about emotions,” says the singer, who is
seriously trying her hand at songwriting – together with her Soul Family on the album “Ndiwe”, which means ‘you are the chosen one of my heart.’ The overall message is impossible to ignore
Love.

“Call me a soul singer, call me a jazz singer. I don’t care. Good music is good music, and I love interpreting other people’s songs and being inspired. At the same time, I think it’s great to try my
hand at creating and writing the songs myself – and with my friends in the Soul Family, I have found my place. They are my family, and the curiosity and respect we share are fantastic.”

You can experience that up close when Miriam & The Soul Family take the stage. The enthusiasm for music and communication is impossible to ignore and hear.

“I love to maintain the feeling of being a child. It’s an excitement and curiosity that keeps me going, and that’s why I’m so excited about every single concert – no matter how small or large it is.

Otherwise, I would never do it. This is not just a casual thing. This is a life, and everything means something,” says Miriam, who began her years in Denmark by jamming at Mojo Blues Bar, building a network.
